I’ve been feeling lately that my therapist finds me a nuisance or thinks I am manipulative and a narcissist. I haven’t been able to get out of my head recently and I don’t really feel comfortable telling them because then they will think that I am being manipulative and trying to get reassurance and for them to say kind things when really they hate me.
Does anyone else ever feel like their therapist judges them? I don’t feel like I can ever tell my therapist this - unsure if it is a delusion or just me being paranoid? How do I get rid of this feeling?
I have had the feeling that my therapist…pdoc…support worker…pier…and even the art therapist is a bad person. I usually hammer it to my head that they are good people.
people will judge you sometimes. toughen up. you can even judge them back.
my therapist judged me correctly, he decided to bring up for discussion all the violence against the police that’s been in the news lately. and ask if anything like that has ever crossed my mind. from my experience i’d be lying not to say that I was happy of the news.
You have to remember that therapists get to see 200 other people very similar to you on a daily basis. You are ill, so give yourself a break and realize there is nothing wrong with you. I am certain they don’t think like this. It’s their job to help you.
The therapist I just left used to be judgmental. She would look down at my legs when I got up to follow her to her office. Just a narrow-eyed critical frown. Finally she said something about the way I walk. Who knows what else she thought of me? I learned from her coworker that I wasn’t the only one who didn’t like her. Now I can say good riddance.
