Someone, one of my Ts but I forgot which one, told me that only a pdoc or a medical dr. is qualified to make diagnoses! I always assumed that she had given me correct information. It seems that I was wrong, and she was wrong too.  Thank you for correcting my misinformation.  |
rain, it sounds like it's your dbt T that is giving you various diagnoses lately. i think what your regular T tells you is probably more important though, so i wouldn't give what the dbt T says too much weight. she doesn't know you that well yet. i doubt you have complex ptsd from what i've read but i'm certainly not a T so take that for what it's worth. and yes, Ts do diagnosis and i believe they have to for insurance purposes.
i know people feel differently about receiving a diagnosis with some being bothered by it and some relieved. if it bothers you then just let it roll off you what dbt T says. i personally like having an idea of what i'm dealing with so i can figure out how to approach my problems. i feel like it gives me handles to proceed. ymmv.
