Oh I already wrote a few essays on my Mastodon haha. I'm just frustrated at this, because in my case, I knew I was neurodivergent (I didn't realise till later that I also had signs of complex PTSD myself). So when she tried to treat autistic anxiety as regular anxiety disorder by telling me to essentially just stop being autistic, and refused to learn about autism (because she's "not here for that") I knew the problem was her, not me.
Someone who doesn't know they are neurodivergent will think they're the failure, not the therapist, and just end up feeling worse. "If it works for everyone else, why isn't it working for me? I'm just a failure at this too."
It just really bothers me. I filled out the feedback form, but since I didn't get any acknowledgement, I don't know if anyone even read it.
The ironic thing is, I had a phobia therapist before her and she was very clued up about neurodivergence. Even though I was there for a blood test phobia (and that was all she was trained for), she put me in touch with the local autism service and pushed me to ask my GP for an assessment referral again.
So the other therapist had zero excuse.
