They can help you discover why you started to hate yourself and that can be the start to undoing it. They can see the best in you when you can't see it yourself. You can't be your own therapist if you hate yourself! They won't hate you and that's a much better start :)
I'm assuming you also work in the helping professions? So what would you say to someone who was struggling. Maybe something like this - your view of the future right now is clouded by how low you feel. It WILL get better. I know that's easy for me to say but try to keep a little part of you free for believing that.
