I only know of Microsoft and email from the corporate world and instinctively want to put as much distance as I can between that and myself. How is it working for you?
For some cases that doesn't really help. For example if you do a large survey of the sky for transient peak detection you don't have the time to spend multiple lights on a single part of the sky. I'm not sure if the satellite trail removal is helpful for that, but the trails themselves are certainly an issue for sky surveys.
For your first session, don't expect much more than just getting to know each other a bit, talking a bit about your goals and where you're at. See if you vibe with them. It's one of those interpersonal things that you can't really objectively measure. Relax, feel them out as a person. As to self diagnosis: i think with a new therapist there's a bunch of fundamentals before you get to those more significant issues. Once you do, be honest and open. Tell them you suspect you may have something like it and why you think that way and they should take it from there. But honestly, don't expect too much from a first chat.
I do too, tbh i miss the less techy people. People that aren't particular comfortable with new fangled technojiggeties just figured out reddit, they'll take a long time and a lot of client improvement to come here..
