Yes, I think my T likes me most of the time. I think he has disliked some of my behavior, but I think he likes me.
When I first met with him, when we were seeing if we could work together, I think part of that process for both of us was to see if we liked each other.
Does anyone know if that is part of what a T thinks about when deciding to take on a patient/client?
I believe a T has to be on our side when he works with us. What good would s/he be if he were indifferent or, worse, hostile?
I have felt that my T hated me at times when I hated myself. We talked about it. It was important to talk about it, and it helped a lot.
Self-loathing is so painful. I wouldn't want to work with a T who didn't embody the antithesis of that feeling: fondness, liking, and even affection.
