Feelings make you neither bad nor good. They're very useful information, but they don't define you. DBT maindfulness training is very clear that judging emotions is not helpful.
I like your pdoc's stance. My therapist's stance is similar. And while he does identify some of my behavior as manipulative, he doesn't even say that like it's a bad thing. More like there are things I need that I haven't learned to get other ways yet. Then he explains the other ways.
You're doing good. Identifying and thinking through what you're feeling and where your impulses are coming from, and then modulating them, how is this the action of a bad person?
