IDK if you’re familiar with the concept of fundamental attribution error? I think it’s helpful whenever we extrapolate a lot (especially deep things like values) about a person based on a few details or actions, which of course is the situation we find ourselves in with our therapists a lot. I think that could easily apply here.

It’s easier to be happy when we decide that people’s goodness is genuine, that their crappiness is just clumsy and not personal to us (with few exceptions for truly dangerous people), and that we are all just doing our best.
