Sometimes a chicken is a chicken. If a therapist looks at me with a stupid facial expression and changes his tone of voice, if he asks me to prove things that I cannot prove unless we both travel back in time or I show him a video, I wonder if he is not taking me at face value.
That's not the type of compassionate response I'd expect from a person who wants to help me.
If you can't see why that type of response could be upsetting to a person who is already hurting then there is not talking to you.

And what if I get nervous or what if I lack the mental capacity to articulate my thoughts at that moment in time and the therapist "is lead to believe" that something doesn't add up. Do I accept his judgement and delude myself into thinking that I was never bullied/hurt in high school?

Because he asked me to prove something, I couldn't prove it, and he responded by sighing and throwing his arms up in the air.
