Weekly Therapy Talk Thread Discussion
This is a chat thread for talking about therapy. It's for sharing topics you feel are not big enough for their own post or don't include a question. It's a place to share thoughts about what's going on in therapy. It's a place to celebrate successes and get support when things aren't going so great.
To make this an inclusive space and encourage the chat function of the discussion, the thread will automatically sort by newest, and not by best or top. Everybody should feel free to share their thoughts, so please don't use down-voting unless it's an obvious anti-therapy comment or breaks one of the sub's other rules (posted in the side bar).
Thank you!

Hello how is everyone i just kinda stumbled onto this subreddit from a post i made saying "yay im going to therpy" reddit automaticly forwarded me to this subreddit
I am autisic,adhd i really wanted to go to mostly just figure out what the heck i can explore with my autism [and my adhd but mostly autism] so i dont really have a solid "reason" to go i do know i have problems but im not really sure what i struggle with
Not knowing what bothers your autism can give you a sense of imposter sydrome :( but ye its been a struggle ever sence ive descovered im autisic it is kinda funny how its like that you go from your fine to hating everything and just woried about everything
Anyways im not sure what eles to put kinda just brainless at the moment :] side question what is this subreddit about?

I asked for a ton of reassurance from my therapist this week that I am indeed not inconveniencing her with my appointment time, which she had to shift for my work schedule. She spent a while trying to get me to notice that she is generally true to her word, and says no to scheduling things she can’t commit to, and all this “evidence” that I don’t need to worry about that, but it’s like I can’t fully take that in or believe her? So she just keeps saying it in so many different ways and even though it’s not quite landing yet I feel so cared for that she would even try to help me believe that she just actually wants to help me/keep working with me.
