How would you feel if your therapist said this?

I was discussing dating and my intimidation with men. How I want to date but don't feel enough.. due to my issues. I liked she Said I don't need to heal all my Issues or be Perfect to date. That men will have issues too. But then She said "You have a lot of anxiety. You may always have it. It is who you are.. "
On one hand i get she meant to kind oF not be ashamed of my disorder. But on the Other hand it is not who I AM. It is a result of trauma and not truly me. I just let it go but not sure how to Feel...how might you feel?

free? free to fill your head up with more positive thoughts (like meaning if you truly just let your anxiety go)

also, maybe she was just being observant by saying that and not actually saying your stuck with this crippling anxiety. i think she sounds like a good therapist that makes you think
