Opinion. Your therapist is lying to you and that isn't helping anything

[etoven]

You're right, just "putting a positive spin" won't fix the world.  You may wish to look for another therapist, and by the way, there are many many therapists who don't actually have a medical license.  In my state, many of them are "Christian therapists", who are even more intense with that toxic positivity mindset.

If someone ended up being that and I didn't know that walking in to the first meeting.
Ow boy.. Pissed wouldn't begin to describe it.

Therapy would be me cussing him out for his religious affiliations bullshit of the hour and them I'm billing him for my time.
