Your therapist may be one of those that don't believe in personality disorders.

I know this doesn't make sense since she gave you that test. But my therapist gave me one too. When I asked if I had a PD, she gave me the line about not believing in them.

Or, she may also be like my therapist when she's actually telling the truth. She believes in them, but she doesn't like to give the diagnosis because of the stigma.

Either way, it sounds like you need your therapist to help you. Try to explain to her what's going on inside. You don't have to do it calmly, but you do have to use your words. They can't mind read, unfortunately.

After I confronted mine--not asking her if I had a PD but rather telling her that I knew I had one and that I knew she knew it--we were able to stop *****-footing around and actually get some work done.
Thanks for this!
