I agree Pachyderm and this is where most of the frustration comes in. I am all about honesty and openess, especially in a therapeutic setting, but when your the patient they can use such words like "delusional" "transferent" "manipulative" just to prove that what you're trying to get across isn't accurate. I have PTSD I have never been "delusional". I have only counter transferred what my therapist has done and while I won't lie and say I'm not 100% manipulation free for a survival mechanism of sorts. I try my very best to remain open and honest and if I catch myself I correct it. It's disappointing because it's taking advantage of us as having illnesses and even me being high functioning can't intervene what are those who aren't high functioning supposed to do? Just take it? My old treatment team would have never done things like this. (put staff ahead of patients, mistreated patients, etc). I'm not saying all the staff in my team is like this. But the people who can do something about it are. I wonder if the ones who can't notice it too.
