Should I be upset by what my therapist said?
Post Body

I had rny gastric bypass two years ago and lost about 150 lbs (including pre surgery weight loss). I have gained back about 20 lbs and continue to struggle with temptation.

But! I have a strong interest in health and fitness since I started this journey. Though I struggle mentally, I still understand and love learning about health tips and tricks, sustainable strategies, etc.

I thought maybe my knowledge might help others and decided to do a presentation at work on health and fitness. I’ll be doing it in the new year, right when everyone is making their resolutions.

I told my therapist, because I’m proud that I decided to step out of my comfort zone. His reaction was: “is that the best topic for you? You had to have surgery to lose your weight”.

And I am honestly crushed. Am I overreacting at all or should I tell him I’m upset by this?

You absolutely should tell your therapist you’re upset by something he said. If you don’t feel safe enough to share that with him then you need a new therapist! They’re supposed to be a safe space! They’re just humans and we all make mistakes but give him the chance to make it right. But if you don’t feel safe with this guy and/or care about seeing him again I would say it’s time for a new one.
