    That’s a difficult process for sure. It’s one would normally be spread out through an entire childhood and people try to speedrun it in a matter of months or a few years.

    Yeah... That's sort of what I mean; it is in fact something that I'm going to have to "speedrun". Because neither the expression of my own needs or interests, nor the ability to have them reliably met, was something that actually existed for most of my life growing up.

    Either way, I hope it’s been going well for you so far.

    My work has gotten me set up with what I believe is a pretty good therapist, he actually bothered to put me through some actual clinical diagnostic evaluations, and I apparently have a lot more going on than what I initially thought. So, I have something to work on, and a way to develop tools for that rn.

      For sure. And to be clear, I didn’t intend to make light of that need to catch up quickly. I’m doing the same thing.

      That’s awesome to hear! I relate to the experience of having a lot more going on than anticipated. Having a good therapist really does make a world of difference, there.
