I remember going to a mandatory counselling session at Uni as they were having a big push to be seen as pro mental health.

And she asked me sonething like "Do you think [university]'s mental health policies have had a positive impact on your wellbeing?"

And i said "no, it all feels very forced and like the university only wants it to appear like its taking steps to address mental health issues and things like these mandatory counselling sessions actually make me feel worse since it boths puts thst fakeness front and center and takes away my autonomy when it comes to how i address my mental health"

And she just stops for a long moment, looks at me in the eyes with a slight panic before putting on a forced smile snd saying "okay im just going to put down that you said yes so we can continue :)"

She almost gained self awareness.

Agreed but also, she probably didn't have too much choice in responsibilities either.

Certainly could've handled that one better though.

I've had my (un)fair share of counselors in the education space. My sympathies for them are non-existent.

i mean she could have recorded the actual answer and just forwarded it to the next step?
