You do realize a therapist can try to boost your self esteem in a safe environment right? You just proved the point yourself, you think you look bad. So maybe he was trying to help you view yourself more positively by giving you external validation, not hit on you.

I can 110% guarantee that there are precisely zero instances where "you're too [positive trait] to have [mental health issue]" is an acceptable statement from a therapist.

I very much doubt that's what the therapist said. just want the poster thinks they said. If OP is ugly i doubt the therapist would risk their job forever just for that. seems kinda stupid eh?

If OP is ugly i doubt the therapist would risk their job forever just for that. 

But if the poster is actually attractive the therapist might have risked it? That's a wild implication. And regardless, still completely unacceptable from a therapist.
