I understand why you feel minimised. But I think she's trying to point out that your negative view of your own time-management might not be completely true.

Sometimes a T has an obligation to tell the patient she is wrong about herself. That's always a tricky thing to say and an unpleasant thing to hear.

For example, I've seen a lot of posts by people who struggle to believe a therapist who tells them they are not stupid.
