Gosh, he sounds like me when I'm being a jerk, lol (say hi to my 3 fix). There's a difference between overcoming and managing. You can end up with all the support in the world and meds and still not manage as well as other ppl - he might be up for a surprise. Something about realistic expectations and respecting your own limits.

One thing: just make sure you go to the therapist because you want your life to improve, not because he "pushed" you into it.

Also make sure that his approach comes from a genuine desire to help you with what you think you need and you desire, not what he thinks you need (even though it is objectively true). First of all, he has to accept you for you, for where you are at your life right now.

You can try this argument: since he insists that people are basically letting themselves be helpless and were taught to not feel capable, ask him how him taking charge of you is not strengthening the unconscious belief if true, if you decide only because of him. Ask him how his approach is teaching skills to believe otherwise. = He should be teaching you that you have more personal agency, not that you gotta do x, y and z to be functional.
