Well, my T used to sit with me and sometimes *she'd* cry, mostly of course not, but sometimes what I said just got to her. Far be it from me etc, and it's my character, but I just think he's wrong. I think you need to feel as bad as you want for as long as you need. But that's what he said?? Well, I dunno. He's saying it's a choice that it's cool for you to make (almost). There are probably choices you make that contribute to your depression, but I seriously doubt you have chosen to be depressed. If a T has stopped empathising then what's the point? Even if you misguidedly cause it all, the suffering is real. You can tell yourself to snap out of it.
