It would absolutely bother me. It sounds paternalistic, and as you said, totally invalidates your experiences. Also, I've had a few experiences with doctors getting things wrong... I know that they have more training than me and that they want to get it right, but sometimes they *don't*.

Personally, someone that said that to me (whether it was a medical doctor or a therapist) would be replaced, rather quickly, with someone a bit more open and willing to discuss things.

Sorry you're dealing with it - but absolutely the problem is NOT YOU!!!
