Nah, the issue with her is, she did the equivalent of a first aider seeing someone with a burst appendix and saying, yes, I know how to treat this, instead of getting them to a surgeon.

I had a doctor slap me with an anxiety disorder NOS diagnosis because she didn't want to send me for autism testing. And so when I eventually plucked up the courage to get treated for it, she ignored what I said and just acted like "yes, I know how to treat anxiety" instead of noticing I was describing complex trauma, knowing it was beyond her scope and referring me to a service who could help or just discharging me.

Instead I got "if socialising is difficult for you, just try not to overthink it. No. Autistic scripting and rehearsing is just overthinking, no it is. No, it really is. I said it is! Stop doing it. " And "if you have issues with anxious attachment and codependency, it's because you don't love yourself more! So say some bad things about yourself so I can cure you of that and make you love yourself "

I give her too much credit, she probably hasn't even heard of anxious attachment.

My GP is still pushing me to try again.

Thank you for listening to a bitter old lady shouting at the clouds.
