Have you ever felt that way?

[susannahsays]

I think you hate you and are projecting that onto the therapist. That is what he is saying.

Could be. But it felt like he did.

How would you know you are the hated patient? Has the therapist treated you a certain way that makes you think that?

OP wrote why they thought that in the original post, Sarah. I wrote my reply and submitted it before I had seen they had decided to take it down (1 minute before my reply). I assume they don't want to rehash why they thought what they thought.

I have not felt this way precisely. But I have sometimes realized I am trying to provoke the therapist into confirming to me that she is not to be trusted. Which, maybe she isn't, but it's not very objective proof that she's untrustworthy if I say, toilet-paper her office and then expect her to not be angry.

I have also accused her of hating me. In my case, it was not something I was actually worrying about, but rather a means to distract from something else that I didn't want to talk about.

I don't think I've ever done anything to make her hate me. The worst thing I've ever done to her personally was give her a nasty look. That's hardly worth hating somebody over. I've done plenty of other stuff, said I would never speak to her again, etc., but that was the only genuinely mean thing I've ever done.
