>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.

I have worked on similar issues with the therapist using something called the two-chair technique. It allows different aspects of your Self, which may be in isolation from each other, to have a dialogue. You'd be surprised what comes out!

Good luck in working on this. In your head I am sure you know that we are all lovable. Now it needs to reach your gut in those isolated areas.
