That's probably true. I've never spoken of diagnosis with the therapist I'm working with now, and really didn't talk about it with the therapist I did a lot of the traumatic memory processing work with, even though I still met the criteria for PTSD then. I really don't now, but I'm working on the attachment issues and dissociation.

When I was originally diagnosed through Colin Ross's program, it was a relief because I had a name, there was a reason for the way I was, someone understood it, and could therefore understand me. I clung to the diagnosis for a long time, and through a lot of work, and gradually cared less and less about it.

Have you read "Trauma and Recovery" by Judith Herman? It's a really good book about trauma and PTSD and C-PTSD, and it helped me quite a bit.
