I think, for a lot of people, the perception of genuineness is important in therapy. It's possible there's another T out there you'd find a lot less "fake."

How do I cope, personally? Honestly I just don't care that much. I haven't found my T to be significantly more fake than anyone else in my life, myself included. I don't think people, as a general rule, do always say what they think - and, anyway, how would one even know? One can't read minds.

Sorry this is distressing you. I hope you feel better soon.
