I'm like this as well. My ex T used to do it a lot. She had good intentions - I think she didn't want me to feel alone or abnormal in some way, but it had the effect of minimalizing what I was feeling or going through. Oh and one time I admitted I was having s thoughts and she told me many people feel like this at some time or other. This really annoyed me because I needed her to take me seriously.
