Hello,

I don't want to comment on the counseller, maybe they made a mistake or maybe they were trying to a deeper topic...
But I have no doubt in my mind that being assulted should bother you, as it would bother me. I had a pretty good childhood with minimal issues so don't feel that has a bearing.
I think depending on you as a person and previous experiance's will change how you move on from it; quickly dust off and get back to work or get out of there. But as far as being not bothered by it at the time, I don't feel it's possible.

Hope that helps towards settling your curiousity.
