I´ve been searching for a new T after I got badly terminated about half a year ago. I´ve been grieving my former T, who I saw for 12 sessions, and that´s partly why it has been difficult to find a new T.

Today I met with a new T who I´ve seen for only two sessions before, evaluations. I´ve told her I´ve seen more than 10 T:s in evaluation before I met with her. That is, I´ve just seen one therapist for a regular therapy.

The T I saw for 12 sessions had more than 30 years of experience, she was a psychologist with training in evaluating psychiatric diagnoses. She wasn´t a psychiatrist though. She never ever mentioned anything about her thinking of me as having a diagnosis. I´m 30+ and noone at school or something like that has ever told me or my parents they think I have a diagnosis.

I also did the autism/aspberger quiz here at PC and there was no indication I have such a diagnosis.

I´m now very upset about this, I´ve been struggling for so long to find a T. But I can´t see how meeting many T:s for evaluation is a reason for suspecting a diagnoses? She of course didn´t say she was sure but still, she recommended me to do a psychiatric evalution.

When I saw the first T, whom I really liked, I also felt better and suddenly this T talks about diagnosis. I have another appointment with this T next week but I don´t know if I´ll go because of this.

Have someone experienced something similar? Is it really possible or even ethical to talk about diagnoses as she is no psychiatrist? And after just two sessions?
