Thanks. Yes, I agree that changes are often small and you have to be patient to find out what works or not. As my T has worked with a lot of different clients, also on the spectrum, I more or less trust her that she does whatīs right for me. I absolutely donīt think she does anything to make me feel worse but at though I sometimes feel itīs more like an ordinary chat than therapy.

But I think that has to do with that she doesnīt want to put pressure on me as several other things in my life are pressuring me. She has also said that as therapy is within psychiatric care (although no inpatients) she also thinks therapy canīt be as demanding as if I saw her at a private practice where patients generally have less severe diagnoses.

Do you trust her to do what is right for you?
