I'm just here to tell something that happened to me and I don't have no one to talk about. I told my terapist about my demisexuality and she said that it doesn't exist because "that's what everyone is", and I can't say "I'm demisexual" because treat myself as a "different person" only will make me feel bad. I really felt so bad because of it. Even her doesn't understand me.

Oi, achei que responder em português te traria algum conforto, já que essa experiência foi bem desagradável. Entendo perfeitamente que se desapontar com um terapeuta é difícil porque essa pessoa deveria te ajudar a se sentir melhor, e não ao contrário. Entretanto, meu primeiro conselho seria não se deixar abalar pelo o que foi dito: você é válido!
Dói, eu sei, mas existem alternativas para consertar isso. Tente falar novamente com seu psicólogo, explique demissexualidade usando suas palavras, mas também leve algum artigo, ou recomende o site da AVEN. Eu fiz isso quando contei para a minha psicóloga porque achei que “dados científicos” deixariam o tópico mais acessível para alguém que provavelmente nunca tinha ouvido falar sobre identidades do espectro assexual. As vezes essa má reação vem de um lugar de ignorância, isso não significa que esse tipo de invalidação não possa ser mudada.
Comunique sua insatisfação. Vá para a próxima sessão e diga para seu psicólogo que o que ele te disse te machucou e que as concepções dele sobre sexualidade estão equivocadas. O relacionamento entre vocês é construído também por feedbacks, e é importante que seu psicólogo esteja ciente das suas necessidades e quais são as melhores abordagens para determinados assuntos.
Se após isso nada mudar, eu recomendaria tentar trocar de psicólogo. Não sei quais são suas demandas específicas, mas talvez seja interessante você procurar alguém que trabalhe questões de sexualidade. A função do terapeuta é te ajudar a achar soluções para problemas que você não sente que tem capacidade de lidar sozinho. Se entender sua sexualidade tem sido um desafio, alguém que não é empático à sua identidade não tem como te ajudar.
Qualquer coisa pode mandar um inbox. Estamos aqui para te ajudar, ou no mínimo oferecer um ombro amigo.

Hi, thought answering in Portuguese would bring some comfort since you had a very unpleasant experience. I perfectly understand the disappointment your therapist brought to you because they’re supposed to be the one to help you feeling better, and not the other way around. However my first advice would be don’t bring yourself down for this: you’re valid!
I know it’s hurtful, but there’s alternatives to fix it. Try to talk with your therapist again, explain demisexuality using your own words but also add some articles or recommend the AVEN site. I did this when I told my therapist about it because I thought “scientific data” would smooth the way for someone who’s probably never heard about ace-spec identities. Sometimes the bad reaction comes from a place of ignorance, but it doesn’t mean this type of invalidation can’t be changed.
Communicate your insatisfaction. Go to the next session and tell your therapist that what was said hurt you and their conceptions on sexuality are equivocate. The relationship between you is also built from feedbacks, and it’s very important for your therapist become aware of your needs and best approaches to specific issues.
If nothing changes after that, I’d recommend you seeing another doctor. I don’t know about your specifics demands in therapy, but perhaps someone who works with sexuality topics might be interesting. The therapist job is to assist you with problems you feel you’re not capable of solving by yourself. If understanding your sexuality has been a challenge, I doubt someone unsympathetic towards your identity will be helpful. If there’s anything else, send us an inbox. We’re here to help, or at least to be a friendly shoulder to vent.

Demisexual Affirmation #55
For every one of you whose family or “friends” purposefully invalidate your experiences and feelings.
You’re valid. It’s hard to bear with such behaivours, but YOU-ARE-VALID.
Your experiences and feelings are true and you’re not what they say you are.
You’re a wonderful person and you’re brave.
They’re the wrong one.
You deserve the best in this messy world <3
You can do it!

Demisexual Affirmation #5
Whoever you chose to love is okay. Whether you are a girl dating a girl, or a boy dating a boy, or a girl dating a boy, or anything in between. Love is love, and that is all that matters.
Demisexual Affirmation #2
It’s okay if you call yourself Asexual. You are on the asexual spectrum and sometimes it is easier to just say you don’t experience sexual attraction at all rather than only in certain situations.
Demisexual Affirmation #14
Don’t listen to tumblr. Nothing about your sexual identity is “sensitive content”. Your sexuality shouldn’t be censored, you deserve better than that.
Demisexual Affirmation#4
Your sexuality does not define who you are as a person. But if you want to claim your Demisexuality as a part of you, that is a valid choice and I support you 100%
