Your T may feel it is over used because she doesn't understand the complexitys of it,or is just tired of hearing it with its growing aceptance in the VA. In the '80s DID seemed to be over used but prehaps it was just identifed more, sadly it was also misused too. Curently the big seemingly overused dx is boarderline personality disorder, this one is a really easy one for pdocs and therapist because they can claim there is no cure, or that only going to DTC will work but it takes all the pressure of them to do anything, kinda like telling the victim it was there fault for dressing that way. No not allways. There is real BPD, and it can get better, and a good pdoc or T would not blame the person but it is the trend currently now. Just check the web. It is also not an axis I Dx.

Like some of the other posts I agree, you need to ask her to stop the paper work for a sesion and talk, use the time to ask your questions, write them down if you need to so you wouldn't forget. Find out what is behind the remark if she has a personal problem with it you might be better off with someone who can give you a blank slate, and start from the begining. I'm sure everyone on the site has horror stories of T's or pdocs who for one reason or another didn't click, but that doesn't make them nessasarly bad t's or pdocs, sometimes its just the specialty, personality, training, or bias. I once had a pdoc who tried to insist that I did not have PTSD, but BPD she did no tests, she was not interested in my past, I had 2 different personality specilest in 2 different states who had tested me and they came up with zero personality problems and the other testing showed severe trama and complex PTSD, she didn't care, I found out her reason was, if I had PTSD I would be put into her group and she did not want to work with a deaf client. Sometimes its not so easy to find out why. But T's and Pdocs are as human as the rest of us. Some of them have a much harder time admiting they have faults. Good luck and stand up for your rights and valadation of what you know.
