Unfortunately, yes, he has said those things.

We talked about it in subsequent sessions, and he tried to explain that his intention was to try to "put things in perspective" so that I wouldn't sink too far.

He now knows that it is not a strategy that works for me. (I can't imagine it working for anybody, really...it's just SOOOOO dismissive and minimizing, in my eyes.)

Of course, now it leaves me feeling less trusting and much more self-conscious. I love my T, but sometimes I feel so let down by him. *sigh*
