We both had similar experiences then in terms of how we came to therapy. I don't think my therapist would have ever espected to still have me coming (much less at twice a week) nine years later.
I admit the subjective self hatred is a hard thing to conquer. My therapist and I have been talking about that lately. Because even though my self esteem is pretty good and based on a realistic appraisal of my strengths and weaknesses, I have pockets of self hatred that seem isolated from any appeal to reason whatsoever. I'm not even sure it's amenable to a corrective emotional experience, because it's so isolated.
This might be different from your own experience. Mine is that I generally feel realistically good about myself then totally surprise myself with a statement (or post or action) that reveals self loathing that seems ego-dystonic to me.
My therapist seems more confident than I feel that it can be addressed.
Has anyone had a successful resolution to this problem and can pass on some tips?
