So, I basically how I found out um I
00:00:05
started seeing this therapist
00:00:07
in I think
00:00:09
2021 and I was seeing her for about a
00:00:13
year and it was honestly after like
00:00:15
almost an entire year of going to her.
00:00:18
She was like, "Okay, I'm just going to
00:00:20
say this and I just want you to like
00:00:23
hear me non-judgmentally. And I'm not
00:00:25
saying anything negative about you, but
00:00:28
like from what I
00:00:29
have witnessed, basically being your
00:00:33
therapist, you seem to have like a lot
00:00:35
of these traits. Um, and it would make a
00:00:39
lot of sense if that were the case. And
00:00:42
I'm not diagnosing you or saying that,
00:00:44
but if you're interested in that, we
00:00:46
could talk about it and you can get
00:00:48
tested or whatever. Um, and so we talked
00:00:50
about it a lot and it was very it was
00:00:54
pretty not earthshattering in a bad way,
00:00:57
but pretty
00:00:58
like just it was something where I had
00:01:00
never even thought about it. But then
00:01:02
once I thought about it and she kind of
00:01:05
described it to
00:01:06
me how I was appearing, you know, I was
00:01:10
like, "Oh, that makes a lot of sense.
00:01:13
Thanks.
