Yeah, I had a therapist tell me that I was obviously great at functioning in a work setting even though the only reason I had a job at the time was that a friend onboarded me for a large-scale freelance project she was working on and didn't report me for not hitting quota since she liked me. I was basically getting paid to sit around in front of my computer and doze off into space, paint my nails, etc. I knew I would be screwed again once the project ended (as I have been). But she wouldn't listen to my concerns and just said, "Uh, you're making money. You're obviously doing fine."
I never went back to her and told her her that sitting with her for an hour once a week and telling her my problems while she marginalized them wasn't going to make my life any better.
