Hi Ll
Sorry you are hurting right now. I have a feeling there is more to this that he needs to explain to you. This seems like a very important issue, something bigger than he realized I think.
He reminds me of my old T in the fact that he thought because you accomplish all of "this" that you can't be that bad off. But sometimes I think that they deal with clients who are so much worse than us, that it is hard for them to see that we are not operating at normal for us or at our potential because it might even be higher than our T themselves. I found it very frusterating.
With my current T I told him not to be fooled by my accomplishments, because there is so much more to me. I am able to do stuff( I can be very competent) and the same time be suffering terribly from emotional problems due to my past. I find this is kinda common in survivors, we are able to do such wonderful things, but be unstable emotionally too. Don't know if this helps at all, but I thought I would give it a try.
