It's unclear : what you are asking. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with your previous therapist. Please let us know how we can help.

Your new behavioral: health provider and your old one are two different people. My guess is that both of them have provided feedback that has been valuable. BUT, remember if you spend all of your energy trying to prove that you have depression - you won't be spending it on getting well. You have an obstacle that you need to get past to recover.
