Maybe I"m taking this too far. but It's affected me.

It's affected me in ways that I am lying in group, lying to myself, and my T can tell, because I won't make eye contact with him, or anyone else. Then this last week, he said something else that has shaken up my world. "I am perfect the way that I am" which is a bit backwards thinking and I think that I'm striving for perfection. Which influences the other, and it's driving me nuts.

I hate confrontation but this all has affected me too much, I need to talk to him about this but I just don't know how to approach it. And he also said that calling a crisis line is a form of strength, which is backwards thinking again. any ideas?? of how to approach this??
It's hard to tell without more context, but your therapist sounds interesting. From what you've said here, I would be more curious as to what he meant rather than offended.
