It is. But you'll get more disappointments if you seek for more help. At least that was my experience. You're hoping on the best things to help you, but many aren't able (or willing/understanding) to give you "exactly" what you think you may need. They have their own ideas and believes and they will not always line up with yours.
If you're "lucky" enough, you'll find a specialist of some sort that you click with, that does understand and who is willing and able to give what you may need... But it's a long journey...
That's why I started with reading up about it while I was looking and waiting for the things that could help me. The better I understood myself, the better I could explain my needs.
But then this is "just" my experience, a few years ago and in a different country...
So don't be discouraged. Don't expect the right sort of help on a golden platter. You will be disappointed, probably a few times, before you may find that one person that can help.
🍀 And I hope you will be able to find what you need to help you along the path... 🍀
