I’m sorry your T said that to you. Frankly, I feel angry on your behalf.

That therapist is being dismissive of you, your experiences and your feelings. If they do not understand each person is wired differently and reacts differently to negative and positive experiences, I don’t know how I could trust anything else they have to say.

If we could all just ‘buck up’ and be ‘stronger’ we would likely put psychotherapists out of business. But that’s not how it works. It flabbergasts me that a T could graduate school with your T’s level of incompetence.
