Yeah. I can relate to this. When I first started seeing my T, he was amazed by the discrepancy between my inner experience (as I related it to him) and my apparent ability to function in the world (as evidenced by my performance in school, involvement in various activities, etc.). He seemed a little incredulous, really, which made me angry, as I wasn't exaggerating my depression/anxiety at all. I think that he has come a long way since then. He seems to get it now. But I do think that his initial reaction, while frustrating, was natural. Of course we all *know* that appearance and reality often do not coincide, but this doesn't prevent us from being taken in by the odd illusion.
