This branch of science is far behind in here in my opinion.
I don't want to eat drugs and I do not trust doctors. So I am my therapist.
I sometimes try to change my outdoor habits like routes, shopping places.

Point taken. But basically means that in order to appease the therapist and keep them off your back, you have to lie and manipulate, by memorizing a laundry list of emotion words and using them at random, just because you're "supposed to".


sorry, but I never had to do any of that, I just yammered away and he listened to me for as long as it took, the full 50 minute hour. that was a novel experience for me to have somebody listen to me. it made me feel decidedly less alien :alien:

I've gotten regular occupational therapy and I once had cognitive behavioral therapy (which was successful). And I've had lots of speech therapy. And physical therapy.


Did you feel like any of these therapies were productive for you?
