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

  • Hi 

     I can really relate to what you’ve said

    My therapist has been helping me come to terms with things, and she’s honestly the only person I really talk to about this stuff.

    She mentioned I might be ADHD too ( which led to a AUDHD diagnosis), and her patience really helps when I’m being hard on myself.

    Having someone calm and understanding has made a big difference for me.
