Therapist just said I've been "surviving not flourishing" due to trauma. Is that an insult? I really took it as an insult

Ok so not to be too long winded. To me the diffence between flourishing and surviving is simply toughness. Even semi co-signed when I looked up flourishing for confirmation. I know therapists are not in the business of insulting clients, but it hurt me. Because of the way I feel. I already feel inferior. Less than half the man I ever was. I have people every day say it's all in my head. Please don't attack me. I just need clarification. I hope that was short enough for the rules. I have something more to say.
