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?
I've had a counselor exactly like this. He didn't last long at that office because he was fired after commenting on another female client's body. They're out there. Don't discount what women go through.
I'm a dude and had just grown my beard out a little. I was already feeling myself and didn't need the self esteem boost from a therapist I was seeing for panic attacks in crowds. Feels like the other poster immediately assumed I was a woman. This guy was absolutely weird as fuck, dismissive of any of my concerns, and continued to act inappropriately. Lasted 3 appointments with him.
