I heard that expressed as “there’s no altruism, people only help to make themselves feel better”. sounds like it would be impossible to get through to them if they saying their psychologist gave them that advice

It sounds a lot like they took something their psychologist said, in context, misremembered the exact wording and intended meaning, selectively reconstructed it, disregarded the original context and then applied it universally to all people in all situations instead of specifically for her in her particular circumstances as part of a sentence deeply embedded in a lot of conversation that took place before and after to try and help her understand why people act certain ways.
