Went to my appointment yesterday with my psychologist whom I’ve been seeing for 12 or more years. He said he is going to semi-retire in October, leaving us just 5 more appointments. Initially I saw him and was able to pay because of a Criminal Injuries Award, but when it ran out he continued...

I have a garden out front, a sidewalk and a curb. Anything put to curb is free and people know this. My garden has toys on display in cute scenes because the day care or young families walk by, some stop and play occasionally. I put some stuff to the curb the other day. A woman stopped, got out...

I live with my 22 yr old daughter who also has autism. When she gets premenstrual things get very bad quickly in conversations. She unleashes a lot of talk that triggers me into apology mode, or stammering, or crying, or just total confusion. I have in my google calendar a reminder to get some...

today at my appointment with the psychologist he noted how I scan the environment. He said it was not slow or smooth and causes fragments. Asked me what would it be like if I got the whole environment all at once and said would that be better than only remembering pieces of things because I...

new word psychologist is using and can’t completely understand it. Need some help. We did write a letter to a part that was read in session in his office last week. Before reading it he asked this part to enter into an agreement to not punish anyone in the system for what was in the letter. He...

I have a friend who leads a mental health support group and also lets me message when I'm struggling or just need a check in. This past week his replies back to me have all been to just focus on what makes me happy or focus on positive. Last night I was explaining a worry about an email from my...

Our system got off track derailed by visit from sibling who likely called someone out and sent a few into hiding. It's making it hard at home but even worse to do a session due to rapid switching. I'm frustrated that the psychologist is unable to guide the process but really frustrated with us...

My psychologist just built a new practice. Two weeks ago we did a session to say good bye to the old space that we've been going to for three years. Yesterday was first time at new space. All we could do was cry. He kept saying, I see sadness is here can you tell me what's happening? He took us...

I read a lot on here, from a variety of perspectives and insights and often think that's worthy of trying or remembering. However that being said it all seems daunting. How do you apply what you read here to your daily life? I was sitting here this morning envisioning post it notes with sayings...

Trying to figure out how my go to button is always set to anger even though I know compassion, sympathy, empathy are better responses. Last night my 21 yr old daughter who has autism and has become a bit of a night owl, let the dog out, went out with the dog and locked herself out. I eventually...

today while I was at my appointment I noticed what I thought was a camera near the ceiling by the door. It didn't really register as a question at the time. Since being home I have emailed the t and asked him and he said yes they installed it last week. I emailed back and asked if it was on...
