Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share my news that I had my feedback session this morning and I've finally got the diagnosis I wanted. It's such a relief to have this part of the process over. One interesting thing my assessor told me was that it might be more helpful for me to talk to a Speech & Language Therapist at some point. He said a standard CBT Therapist works on the basis that they're trying to alter your way of thinking about irrational responses to stimuli, but my responses aren't irrational, at least not to me, and it can be damaging to have your experiences invalidated in that way. I thought that was really interesting and very insightful.
Anyway, I'm going to celebrate with a cream eclair and a cup of coffee!
