It sounds like your therapist is in the wrong profession.

I've interacted with four different ones so far, and while the value I got out of them varied greatly I think none of them would ever say BS like that.

I hope whoever tests you is not like the ADHD "specialist" I had to deal with. Knowingly swapped symptoms and cause in the final report for whatever reason, and made terrible jokes that indicated he either doesn't know the basics I could read on Wikipedia or just already made up his mind beforehand. Absolutely fantastic when it comes to disorders subtle enough that you even question yourself sometimes.

It's like all professions. Most have no business being there. And if Pareto was right, then 20% of the therapist make up for the other 80%.

Honestly I've had a few and I've had much much worse. Especially as someone LGBT they can be downright offensive and oblivious.
