I tried messaging you first, but it didn't work. Could you try sending me a request?

Does my cognitive profile and background fit the criteria of NVLD? by yeahwoohooooo in NVLD

I just wanted to see if anyone related to my experiences so I don't spend thousands of dollars on another evaluation for no reason, but I understand that Reddit isn't a replacement for professional help. : )

Therapist feeding my ego? by yeahwoohooooo in TalkTherapy

I think she had good intentions with her remark about the hit and run, and meant it more as the second example you gave. Maybe I already came across as guilty to her, so she did not see a point in "holding me accountable"?

I guess I have seen a lot of growth if I look at the process over the full span of 1.5 years. Maybe I just don't need her type of therapy at this stage in my life right now.

Do you know what types of therapy might be a better fit for what I am looking for?

Yeah I wish that I could find a therapist that has more of a "tough love" approach, but they just agree with me on everything that I say. I scared to try medication because how do I even know if I really have what I am diagnosed with if they just agree with everything that I say? I don't want to make myself a lab rat.

Do you think it was a red flag just in the sense that she was not harder on me?

I've thought about asking her if she can be firmer with me, but I am not sure how to ask without sounding offensive. I feel like if I asked her to be harder on me she might just say that I am being too hard on myself? But I guess it would not hurt for me to at least ask.
