Hi EmilyAnn,
I'm sorry your therapist said that. I'm sorry to hear any therapist saying that, I just don't see how it can be useful to hear when you're in the middle of depression. It just comes off as blaming and adds to your burden. What was s/he thinking, you'd just suddenly go "you know, you're right. It was me that decided to get depressed", and suddenly a big smile would cross your face, and your depression would evaporate. Ridiculous, huh?
How about telling the therapist about your reaction to him/her saying that to you?
