Therapy - Compassion Focused and Acceptance and Commitment

kayaker

Hi

I'm recently diagnosed as being autistic. As I am struggling to accept the diagnosis and I am very hard on myself, it has been suggested that I consider undergoing one of the above therapies.

I'd be keen to hear others views please whether they have tried either of these therapies and if they have, their experiences / thoughts as to whether they found the therapy beneficial.

Thank you

Parents

  • Never heard of any of them, but do you really need to pay a shed load of money to people to tell you to be kinder and nicer to yourself? Will it make it any easier? I'm not saying that therapy isn't a good idea, but be careful the whole therapy field is full of BS merchants willing to take your money.
