Asking as I see more and more people talking about mental health issues, and curious to see if people could share their experiences.

Oh I squared my shit away with myself down the track. That guy just couldnt shake off the idea that my anxiety attacks werent a result of just good old fashioned growing up poor and without a dad giving me a crippling fear of failure (and if you dont try you cant fail) but had to be one of the many fucked up things I saw or was involved in... someone with as many scars and insane stories couldnt POSSIBLY be as boring as that.

Oh, that's shitty. Therapists who think "it must be X what is the issue" are bad therapists, they should be helping you to find out what the issues are and not trying to convince you of their biased ideas
