I agree with the others that it might be helpful to discuss with your therapist.
thanks for this, your experience sounds very close to mine, particularly how you describe the vision.

This seems like a careless, minimizing thing to say.... IMO. That type of talk would upset me for sure.
Thanks, that's what I thought too. Because I was so confused I found it hard to work out what he was trying to convey, I certainly don't think I've ever given him the impression that I did think that, I don't feel even massively attached to him to be honest, so I need to gain some clarity on where that came from. Like you say, it was minimising, and possibly some kind of clumsy reality check that he thought I might need... I don't know. I don't hold it against him, I just found it confusing and slightly offensive.
