Therapy really doesnt help. For some people it can be amazing, but it just won’t work for everyone and that is ok.
For me personally, I’m just too different from how the therapists wanted me to be (I know this sounds weird, I will explain). They (plural, I’ve seen multiple) would try to convince me I can and do experience things that “are normal human feelings that everyone experiences”, and didn’t seem to be able to understand the things I was telling them I actually experience. They could not understand that I simply do not think in any conventional manner and do not have the same thoughts other people do. And I am not saying “Oh I think differently I am such an intellectual, infinitely superior to mere mortals”. There are a lot of things my brain cannot do at all, I will never be able to drive a car, and can’t follow cooking recipies very well. They all had the same mindset, that somewhere in my brain the things they were looking for existed. I am lucky that I never had any serious mental health issues, I only wanted to go to ensure that I wouldn’t have an issue in the future, since I am more likely to experience them, due to being significantly disabled
