My T never just came out and told me "By the way, I think you have xxx." I had to initiate that conversation and once I asked, she was willing to share her thoughts. It wasn't that she was with-holding a diagnosis or not willing to tell me what she thought, she just didn't bring it up and waited for me to ask.

My pdoc was much more willing to diagnose and share his diagnosis with me, but in the context of a medical discussion, talking about a diagnosis comes more naturally than it does in a therapy conversation.

After my pdoc gave me his latest diagnosis, I asked my T if she thought it fit me and she said that from her viewpoint, it did.
