I have definitely had this issue with my T. When I talked to her about it seemed like there were a few things going on. One was that she didn't really get what I was saying. Two was that she was trying to tell me that I'm an okay person to try to reassure me and I didn't want reassurance, I wanted her to validate me and say "that sounds awful" or something. Three I think we see mental illness differently. I really see many of my issues as having a biological basis and requiring medication and she seems to have a different paradigm (I need to ask her about that...) I've gotten better at recognizing it in the moment when I'm feeling misunderstood and she has been very ready to hear my feedback.
