I got sent to a therapist to talk to about my problems by a useless neurologist. (I have absent seizures. He got it into his head I had been sexually abused, despite there being no such evidence. And there wasn't any. Doctor was making stuff up to avoid treating me.)

My first session: "I don't know why I'm here." Her: "Ima teach you CBT for your anxiety because you under-reported." She described CBT. I've been doing CBT my whole life because it was logical, and I taught myself before I even knew it was a thing. She gave me an exercise for CBT. I do it and give it back to her. She was flummoxed because I didn't need her for that.

She appeared to try to get me upset during sessions, because I dunno? reasons? I didn't take the bait because it wasn't worth getting upset over whatever random squirrel and had nothing to do with my situation. It made no sense.

She told me that I wouldn't need to come in any more and lied to my other doctor that I still needed sessions. I stopped making appointments/seeing her because I didn't need it in the first place. No need to waste money.

I'm pretty sure that being ND is why I got nothing from the experience except irritated. I mean, no one listened to me, kept expecting me to act certain ways, and when I didn't--they felt there was something wrong with me. They just didn't know quite what it was.
