Therapy

Hi, my name is sparkler. I'm here because I have lived with epilepsy since the age of 10. As I age, new challenges come up, so I have to adapt. Our household is neurodiverse and I work as a University therapist.
So, there are many reasons for joining The Mighties. I wish I had found out about you long ago!!

Hello beautiful people. My therapist passed away in March and it hasn't been easy. I have another therapist, and he's great so far, but I still grieve and feel the pain of losing my previous therapist. I was in therapy with him for almost 2 years and he was in practice for almost 30 years. He helped me through some of the toughest times of my life and was there when I was building some of the best too. Around September last year, he told me that I was not neurotypical. I asked if him if that means I'm neurodivergent and if I'm on the spectrum. He said yes and that he didn't know. My professional relationship with him was so precious to me. It's been difficult because of the depth of the relationship. I've also seen other therapists for long periods of time but I realized it was different with him because he was slightly ASD (in his words), and I guess both of us being ND may have contributed to it. The neurodivergent aspect is one part of my journey but the other I'd like to ask for help with is dealing with the loss of him. I thought I'd reach out in this group and ask if anyone can relate to their therapist passing away and can provide some info on how they've managed.. TIA #Therapy #Neurodiversity
