This is itself terrible advice. Therapy is delivered by people who are overwhelmingly of a certain political persuausion and very, very far from being representative of their client population in many other ways. You are far better off asking friends or family for advice in most cases. Your therapist does not care about you. If they cared about their clients they would burn out in well under six months. You will learn a lot more about social skills in acting or improv classes or through spening a lot of time with the same group of people who will be blunt with you when you're being fucking weird. The therapist is not your friend. They will not give you useful advice that makes them feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable. They do not care about you.
