Trauma therapist

It's good you can trust your judgement @EternalFlower . And maybe seeing all those people has been good in linking to you to some good people. I was thrown into the private system after my first hospitalisation, which was involuntary, and haven't been exposed to many practitioners - to my detriment I think. But I don't have particularly good antennae in relating to people - a degree of neurodivergence?

@Dimity my psychaitrist also frequently called me a liar, attention-seeker, "playing games", "rewriting the narrative" "high expectations," etc etc. Terrible.

I'm sorry that happened @Dimity but glad you didn't go back. I guess there's pros and cons, its good to meet different practitioners, but can also be hard to open up again and again.

For a whole year I got nowhere in my recovery czo no one would take me seriously becaues of my diagnosis. the hospital staff are now very good but for a while they could care less abotu me
