This reminds me of a time when I was still seeing exT, and I told her I was feeling really low (which is something I would not normally have admitted to her, but I was doing very badly at the time). Her reply: "But you look happy, and your eyes are glittering!"

That was one of the last nails in the coffin of that therapy. There is nothing wrong about feeling okay or being happy while you're in the therapist's office - that doesn't mean that you are always okay, or always happy. But I really dislike having feelings ascribed to me, especially when the description is completely wrong.
