Counselling doubts

Mercury

Through BACP I reached out to the most qualified person on there, asked upfront if counselling is appropriate for autism. 

Later got a reply, them saying neuro diversity is their specialism and offering to take me on, though there is a wait involved. 

The doubts from previous attempts convinced me this would also end in an unsatisfactory way and I ended contact there.

I've long had enough of talking about the past and getting pity, the past cannot be undone.  I really wanted to get my future sorted and I felt I had no right to put my problems on anyone else, especially when there is no clear solution.

  • You are here Mercury, there is a part of you that’s calling out for help, there’s a strong desire to change yourself for the better and to see yourself in a better light that’s more comfortable for you. I would continue with any therapy you feel is appropriate for you. Everyone is entitled to feel the way they feel, feel the emotions they feel, there is nothing abnormal about that. Therapy is there for people like us, even the autistic people can benefit from a listening ear, someone to help us see things from another perspective.
