I understand that OP's post validates your experience as a neurodivergent person being blamed for technique failures. That's valuable and I didn't acknowledge it enough.
But I still maintain that telling hypnotists 'get better' without guidance doesn't actually make them better. And if they don't get better, neurodivergent people keep experiencing bad hypnosis.
Validation for those harmed and effective instruction for those causing harm aren't in conflict - we need both. This post does the first but not the second, and I think that's a missed opportunity.
I will start by appreciating your acknowledgment of the actual point of the original post. It really did feel that, with all the comments, the main point was almost completely ignored.
Now, for the "get better" part:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that when you go to a doctor, you expect them to know what they're doing.
And if, God forbid, there is a doctor who has no idea what they're doing, it's not the colleagues or patients job to educate them. But they can and should raise concerns about it.
The same goes for any professional.
When someone chooses to do something, they are responsible for learning and understanding the subject.
On top of that, @flyingpurplepeopleprogrammer even made sure to mention that if someone actually wants guidance or advice, they will be happy to provide it.
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with that post. I really do wish you the best of luck.
