I am starting with a new therapist soon and I have a bit of an issue coming up. I am a fully capable adult who drives my own car, but my previous therapist it got to the point where my therapy sessions became so intense and I became so dissociative that I could no longer drive myself. Well it wasn't 8 weeks later that she dropped me as a client because I wasn't performing well for her? I guess? I don't know. She wasn't the most professional piece of work.

So this new therapist, my current caseworker, who is about to switch is saying that I will be too dissociative to drive. And I point blank told her that if I'm that dissociative after my appts, something is wrong. Am I right?

I mean this isn't normal dissociation, this is continual switching, self harming, it seems she didn't know how to ties things into a neat bow and send me out. She just unwrapped everything and left paper laying around.

I mean do you guys drive yourselves? Or is it too messy?
