This would really bother me as well. I will sometimes be the one to say something like your T did about myself, like, "People had much worse childhoods than me, I feel like I shouldn't be as affected by it as I am." My T has said that everyone is different in how they're made up. How two people can deal very differently with the same set of circumstances and have quite different effects from them. He worded it better than that. But it felt validating. Basically that it's not helpful to compare my experiences and reactions to those of others, to think I should be doing better than I am. While your T is saying exactly the opposite.


Do you have other T's available to you?
