My first thought on reading his reaction was that he figured if therapy was going to make you so freaked out as to need to cut, you probably should wait on pursuing it until you're more comfortable with the idea. (Someone else said this too, forgive me for not scrolling up to find out who.)

But seriously -- I would be less inclined to call him names and more inclined to think he was thinking of what you're capable of handling right now.

I'm not a T and I don't play one on TV, but I think that's called "redirecting." :-)
