Ironically, I've told him previously that I didn't care what label got placed on me, but I rather thought it would be reasonable, you know?

It feels kind of like working in a 'right to work' state. They can fire you for any reason or even no reason, but they can't fire you for an illegal reason. I'm fairly convinced that most of the criteria he is using to place this dx on me is centered on my religion/cultural beliefs and a particular skill set I have.

The religious/cultural is simply that I am a Native American Buddhist with a fair amount of crossover between the two. My spirituality is vital to me, and so it's come up some in sessions. I can see where talking to one's spirit animal might seem suspicious to someone with a very narrow set of life experiences. I'm living in a rural, white, conservative, evangelical community that is not very open-minded to outside influences.

From that thread I posted back in November and haven't gotten a response to yet:

Magical thinking: This is a key issue for my psychiatrist and therapist upon which this diagnosis is based (I believe). I think they believe that I think I have special powers of discernment. Here's the thing though (and they know this) I've written a book on body language that got me an invite to speak to a group from the FBI. I've given hundreds of paid lectures on the subject. My skills are world class. Of course I see things that others don't - but not because of some magical ability but a learned skill set that anyone can learn with the proper training.
