>be me>retarded and unsuccessful my whole life>after 30 years finally go to a doctor to check if i have ADD or if something else is wrong with me>refers me to a psychologist>almost 3 hours of tests on the computer>almost double that in questionnaires>psychologist concludes that i am apparently highly gifted, no autism, no ADD or anything else wrong with me>doesn't seem to accept or care that i had bad grades, later dropped out of university and i am just waiting for the day my employer finds out i am a total fraud>doctor has unique idea: depression>now refers me to a psychotherapist>no medsDo I even go to the initial interview? I am not sure what the psychotherapist is going to do to help me here. The doctor didn't really explain that part to me. Or do I just look for a second opinion? Did anyone else have similar experience in life or the healthcare system? How do you navigate life?
>>34719331You know his suggestion is wrong but can’t put into words why. I can because I know the flaw in the logic behind the most popular form of therapy, talk therapy aka cognitive behavioral therapy. You don’t know things about yourself but the assumption going into therapy is you know yourself well enough to identify specifically why you act and react to things and situations. (This is the error). You obviously don’t and if you go in there you will never connect with the therapist because not only are you not on the same page you aren’t even reading the same book.
