You wouldn’t need treatment if your symptoms weren’t impacting you in some way.

Exactly! The message feels really dissonant with how things actually work. Like the therapist literally told me that the fact I can do certain things in one context or at one time in my life means I have equal capability at all times. I couldn't even formulate a response to that when she said it because it was like she said 2 + 2 = 5.

I couldn't agree more.
