I do think self-hatred is a core destructive belief so many of us share. And the energy is takes to wake up, go to work, be a parent while harboring all these hateful feelings is tremendous. Why are we so hard on ourselves? Is it because as a child, when we couldn't understand our life circumstance, we had to find a reason to make sense of a senseless world ... "it must be me".
I hope saying those words out loud let you feel your therapist's love. He doesn't see you in that way. Neither do I. All we see is the love and beauty you give and project.
And on the same side of the coin is why we can't accept and feel the love others give to us, including your therapist. For me, it is scary to believe she really loves me. But when I need her (like I do right now) I can begin to feel her love and accept it. Baby steps.
This might be the un-spoken energy lingering in your sessions that has been tormenting you. I hope he finds the right words to reach out and hold you close while you feel the love in that room.
