How is the ickplant? You’re conspicuously missing from your own check in topic this week xd
lol, yessss, I checked in with my bipolar peeps but not my ADHD peeps. I’m really good rn, thank you for asking! I’m a trauma therapist, and I just got a client from a “famous” case in our area, which is interesting from a professional perspective and will definitely be challenging. And from a human perspective I just hope I can help this person. I also have yet another female-identifying client that may have ADHD, bringing the total to 6. I swear, we flock together.
I’m just grateful for what I have right now and trying to really savor it. Neither good nor bad times last forever, so trying to make the most out of today.
Your a truama therapist, then manage multiple neurodiversity communities in your spare time? You give a lot.
I think neurodivergent people in general do. I have a sixth sense for picking out people with truama. If I really immediately click with someone, if I inherently understand and get along someone, they probably had some amount or degree of fucked up childhood. My other best friend is so because we are the two at work with CPTSD. There are a few people with PTSD, but we understand each other on a level neither of us gets from other people.
Thank you, I really try. My first career was in legal compliance in the mortgage industry, and it was such a wrong fit. I hated it and felt like I was doing nothing with my life. Ever since I switched careers, I have loved every minute of it. Found my calling and sticking with it, which sometimes means doing more than just providing therapy.
I have absolutely noticed that people with CPTSD flock together, and it makes so much sense. Another trauma survivor knows what it’s like to be hyper-vigilant or have intrusive memories, just like you said. They also understandably tend to use gallows humor that people with great childhoods may not understand.
