Had that happen. Don’t feel like seeing him for that.
What would you do? How would you let contempt determine your decision tosee the person?
I’m having a dillemma

What did the t say or do that made you feel he had contempt for you?

Yes, I did have that happen. I continued to see the person. It didn't work out.

IF you and the T could discuss the contempt -- when he feels it for you and when you feel it for him -- then maybe it could be helpful? But often, in my experience with therapy, those feelings are not discussed. It's very painful to feel that someone has contempt for you, and can be embarrassing to admit that one feels contempt for somebody else, and if the T can't tolerate that either, then for me it has been a dilemma that has not worked out.

He did not say anything. It was in his facial expression

My T has contempt for me and it is the worst feeling ever! I'm in the process of finding a new T to help me process all of this. I am so hurt by all of this and have never felt this angry about anything ever. Personally, i dont see how contempt can ever be worked out and am glad that I'm making changes.
