Hi all, 
I need some help. I have the most wonderful partner in the entire world but it’s starting to affect our relationship and I feel so sorry for him. 
For some reason in my head, I hear every single thing people say as a negative criticism of me. It’s got much worse recently and I tend to get quite defensive. The worst thing is I know I am being irrational 9 times out of 10 but I can’t stop myself. I have no idea how to change my behaviour or thoughts. 
I am praying someone has some advice. 
I have just started paying a private therapist but have only had one session so far. 

Thanks
