General questions/advice about therapists

Jermaine

Hello, everyone. I have questions.

  • How long did it take you to find a therapist who is right for you?
  • How did you know a therapist was right for you?
  • How did you know a therapist was not right for you?

That’s all. I’m struggling to know if my therapist is right for me, and I need advice.

  • In twelve months of trying to get therapy in the nhs, where no one would take me due to being too complex and high risk, I so tried going private. 

    I failed here too as there are very very few who truly understand the catastrophic connection between autism and abuse/trauma. One I tried to work with I stopped after just two sessions as she had such concrete walls of boundaries I just couldn’t communicate with her, plus video calls just don’t work for me. One other I nearly started with but appreciating the way she tried ultra hard to be inclusive to the point of exclusion, I appreciated she would not have coped with my dark angry problems which could most definitely be perceived as prejudice. 

    For now Ive stopped trying to find help
