You're right. This is a valuable step into knowing and being more self-aware and self-accepting. It sheds light onto a few new and definitely twisty paths, yes, and seeing any glimpse of what's to come has always helped me prepare. Nothing has to be done right this moment: I need to feel and digest while remaining aware of the present state of the body. Good insight.
I am fighting also against my black and white thinking here: my parents being anti-everything prescribed by anyone, including vaccines, because they're anti-science pro-faith.
As a result, as independent adults, my sister and I went full tilt into the system for care. She has major depression and anxiety.
But my own background working as an admin clerk for a private holistic health provider taught me rationally to question the biomedical framework myself: building a strong therapeutic relationship is impossible if there is not trust involved (real solid trust backed by positive results, not leaps of blind faith), and on top of that trust is only possible with strong traits of openness and agreeableness in my opinion.
I'm an Iconoclast on the enneagream: I am not agreeable. I have core major trust issues which manifest as ODD. So take this with a grain of salt but...
...I don't trust my psychiatrist. On an inutitive level. Human to human, he strikes me as greasy in the mind. Slightly clammy and viscous. I'm not at all surprised he never flagged me for additional evaluation.
There's nothing here!
