He said that I've immersed myself into situations and making them a priority (like helping to care for my friend's dying mother, helping a pregnant teen whose parents abandoned her, etc.)

Challenging, but you needed to hear it.

That's not nice. But did he really say it like that?
Might he have said, "Maybe twice a week puts too much pressure on you. What if we took some of that pressure off? Would you find it easier to talk? Better one good session than two bad ones."
Hmmm. Why am I backing T here? Because he sounds like a good T and I prefer to give EVERYONE the benefit of the doubt. And I know from experinece how easy it is to hear the wrong thing.
On the other hand, maybe T is just a clumsy goof who slipped up.
