I think you do have a point. The problem is the way you shoot down every post that tries to help or understand you. Do you always do that to people who try to help you or be nice to you? Is this a part of a pattern you have with people, and why you went to therapy in the first place? I'm starting to think that this is about something else - and not your original point, which, by the way, is valid. The larger picture is how you relate to others in general, which is manifest in your communications here. (And now you want to do the same to the therapist - another person who tried to help). That pattern could be at the bottom of your pain.
