Hi all,
Interesting conversation of how to look at something from different perspectives and "languages."
Luce said:
I recall early on in therapy that T said I was "left unintegrated." At the time I had no idea what he was talking about.

Several months ago I said to T, "Clearly there is something more than depression going on with me." (As that was always my official dx!) He sort of nodded and I said, "Well is this a dissociative disorder?" T looked reflective for a moment and then said, "That sounds so scary. People used to say repression." And we moved on to something else. It simply wasn't important for me to have the "official" dx. Oh yeah--he once mentioned complex ptsd so I knew where we were headed and through reading I have come to realize I am somewhere on the spectrum -- a different point--to be honest with you all--on any given day. So I don't think the state of the union (LOL) is static. I think it's a dynamic condition that changes from moment to moment.

Thank you for the opportunity to work this through. It was helpful.



But Peaches, if it's important to you, then you should pursue it, from the angle of someone whose work comes from that lens. Best.
