I suppose I am trying to move beyond my infant responses of slapping and throwing, although they are still strong instincts. For me, having such visceral responses sometimes tells me that perhaps I am rejecting the very thing which I crave.
It seems reasonable for you to describe that your therapist didn't love you, but it seems erroneous to extrapolate truths about all therapists and all clients based on your experience.
