Counsellors don’t call

Inah

This is a rant because I don’t know where to go with my emotions right now. I have been trying to find a counsellor to help me explore my autism as I struggle with massive imposter syndrome. I found two therapists through a national official registry who were accredited and sounded good, who were responsive via email arranging initials calls etc But in both cases (the last one just happened today!) they just didn’t call at the arranged time! What’s going on? First time I was annoyed but eventually thought ok perhaps something got in the way (though even after checking in twice, I got no reply, completely ghosted), but now it’s the second time this happened. How is this possible? I feel very ridiculous right now

  • Whoa, that’s… really odd. The first time is weird enough, but twice? And it doesn’t sound like you’re doing anything wrong.

    Personally, I’d keep trying, but I can understand that this experience would be very off-putting. Surely lightning couldn’t strike thrice?

    And by the way you’re probably already doing this, but try to see if whoever you are contacting has experience with Autism. That could be really helpful since one of the things you wish to bring up is imposter syndrome.
