The most important thing is do YOU believe it?

I can see how that would put you into a tailspin.
I don't believe there was any value in what they said... these people are paid to help people, not to judge. The therapists themselves have very dysfunctional ''coping mechanisms'' which they may not even be aware of when they are so judgmental and lacking in helpful insights.
As rumination is a common symptom of many MH disorders (I believe) it is very harmful when providers are so shoddy and uncaring with their words.
Did you terminate with that therapist who said that?
