so bit of a rant... back story, I am currently in a 3 day/week DBT program and its my second time being there so I know how the lessons go. But recently, with every counselor/therapist/psychiatrist/psychologists I've had the past couple years have been consistently either blowing off certain stuff I say (i.e.; during group and a question is asked and I answer) or they just look bored while it's my turn to talk. I'll have something important to say and they all would look like they were half asleep with their heads in their hands or checking nails or something.... I never had this issue before and its really affecting my growth as it feels like my thoughts and words mean nothing to the people who I am looking at for help.... is this just happening to me? or is that just the norm now?
The F*ck is Wrong With Therapists Attitudes Nowadays?!?

with the psych professionals i've been to, i noticed that if they're not knowledgeable in a subject, they completely dismiss you and invalidate literally everything you're feeling. or they gawk over it then act like you're crazy for pushing. last psychologist i saw literally would not talk about my delusions that've been destroying me my whole life. also constantly scheduled autism evaluations then refused to do them because i was "just smart", all while not even knowing about facial recognition issues and gawking at me and going "woahh crazy bro tell me about your mommy issues now" the second i described any autism symptom that negatively impacts me.
if it gives any hope, some people in the psyche industry told me that a huge percentage of the new influx of therapists are neurodivergent, i'd try to shoot for online therapy and find someone younger to help. neurodivergent people usually aren't taken seriously at all even by therapists, ableism is fun like that /s.
Thank you for your input :)
That I've noticed, I only had 1 therapist that never looked bored during sessions but sadly she moved out of network so I had to switch... the next one after her kept fighting why losing my father in law hurt so much more than when I lost my Bio mom, been rough going back to her now if she doesn't keep canceling....
I have noticed I click more with the younger ones, especially when they know video game/anime/computer logic I use to explain stuff xD lol like how my psych eval showed that all the processing (visual, auditory and orally) are like a high end i9 Intel processor (they are all above the 90th percentile) but I have the memory of a 512mb stick of ram (working memory is in the 12th percentile... I literally forgot what I'm talking about while I'm talking about something lol the same with activities, I blank alllll the time xP
