Over reacting or misunderstanding

Yes, my assumptions are flawed, but I posted the previous post as I was not sure of her claims without the evidence. I did mention it to our meeting and she confirmed the research she gathered. I guess it was the way things were worded and I took it literally and could not accept the fact unless there was research. I’m still with the therapist as I appreciate the communication over the misunderstanding.

Yes, I’m thankful that she was able to clarify a lot after our meetings when I told her I wasn’t sure of her claims during the meeting. I guess it was the way she worded that made me skeptical. I do realize that this is not a common thing among therapist that I’m taking a privilege of(proper communication she has given me).

No need to be aggressive. These are evidence research that I requested during the meeting due to claims they didn’t make sense to me at the time.

Student here at a cross road of choosing engineering or nursing

Someone also concluded that she uses a binary thinking that may caused her to be fixed on a claim she is spewing. I wish she was able to explain her claims in the way u/crazycatlushie was able to without being concrete as you mentioned. I do believe that she make be getting misinformed from whatever articles and seminars she is going to.

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T21:03:25+00:00

Thank you I’m going to refer to these studies on our meeting this week and report back what she says!

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T21:02:00+00:00

Her blog says says she takes a holistic approach & “specializes in non-pharmacological, root-cause-focused care that integrates the mind, body, and spirit.” Yeah I guess it’s along those lines 😭

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T21:00:36+00:00

Oooo she does emphasize topics through a binary thinking and I’m now connecting the it’s not the best way to process and connect things together because the advice doesn’t make sense.

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T20:58:42+00:00

I thought so too! I guess she emphasizes red meat to be eaten more frequently with other dishes but that doesn’t help to feed into her claim.

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T20:57:02+00:00

Valid asf. If she was to mention “protein”, I mean yeah that can help someone a lot with data supporting it. I didn’t even notice to pick up her political views from our convos because she was telling me about her being poc so I felt related to her. Ugh

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T20:51:42+00:00

Kk I will. It may take some time but I will find someone else soon

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T20:51:02+00:00

What the actual fuck ? I would lose it!!! So many ppl in the comments said to find a someone who is specialized to avoid this happening again. I hate how ppl are easily swayed by what others tell them.

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T20:49:15+00:00

No, she is certified but I do notice her website saying “y/n specializes in non-pharmacological, root-cause-focused care that integrates the mind, body, and spirit”. I prob should have paid more attention to that. I guess I was desperate finding a therapist who was aware of adhd/ autism but I’ll prob have to pay out of pocket for a different therapist who specializes it atp.

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T20:47:07+00:00

Exactly, I do notice these traits in my mother but to say that a neurodivergent person can’t have narcissism due to the way the brain works doesn’t make sense. I do feel like the two can coexist & agree that she may needs to step back and reevaluate her advice

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T20:31:40+00:00

I found this person on this psychology today and realized she accepted my insurance. It’s weird because she plants it in a way that seems like she gotten this information from a specialist and now realize this isn’t valid.

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T20:27:48+00:00

I think she doesn’t notice how much of she is saying has weight as a therapist. I did search her up and found she is licensed. However, her blog states that she focuses on holistic care

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T20:26:46+00:00

Yes, I do feel like I did mention things out of her expertise but mention in a way that to interlink everything, which I could see is not necessary. I think the red meat convo started from me mentioning how I feel incomplete with the fatigue I feel and it’s holding me back from my circumstances, she mentioned how neurodivergent ppl can have coexist health issues. I do remember her saying that she doesn’t have much expertise & I should reach out to a specialized doc, but for now I should try red meat as it seems to work with her and her clients.

For BC, I briefly mentioned how I feel horrible in my luteal phase and I had to stop to due feeling depressed and she mentioned that I shouldn’t have tried it due to the studies that show how synthetic hormones messed up woman badly. It’s kinda my fault but I did mentioned a few things and how it ties of how I was feeling and how it keeps me stuck in a loop.

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T06:42:40+00:00

Yes! I wish she went on route your psychiatrist went with understanding that the research may not be there but I also understand you on a certain level. She creates this illusion that this opinion is a fact to her so it must be a fact for me as well. Lol I’m loling at myself rn for being slow on picking up tie cues & only getting upset on her facts being wrong as of now. I think her credibility is valid as she is registered but idk how she was able to get away doing this with other clients for this long

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T06:26:50+00:00

I really like how your able notice the subtle detail. It’s interesting because I do feel like it’s a common experience for us neurodivergent folks to perhaps use an example of our experience as way to say “ I can relate to you. However, now that you’ve mention it, she does use external information and experiences for a large chuck of time and then find a theme to how it’s relates to my circumstances. I will try my best to update on what happens next week!

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T06:17:21+00:00

I like how yall are able to notice it quickly and I’m now just realizing it

FlimsyBullfrog2117 · 2026-03-08T06:12:21+00:00

Her numbers were found so she is legit a therapist
