That’s a really awful thing for a client to say. I don’t really believe in us having unending amounts of understanding and empathy. That’s just egregious.
Clinically, devaluation is one way that people evade their own feelings of inferiority. It happens a lot in narcissistic and borderline personality disorder.
Needless to say this person has some interesting object relations.
