My experience with MH is reluctance to label. And he does an excellent job of communicating and helping me see things from new perspectives. I'm not going to hold the fact that he doesn't want to tell me that my behaviors aren't working for me because you have a very hard disorder to treat. My impression of him is he knows the pain I'm in and doesn't want to add to it. He can help me without saying those words. But me being me, I need to label things and research them to death. In my mind it's a yes. His words about regulating emotions sounds like a yes. I was just wondering if anyone else in my position would feel the same way.
And I am still looking to hear other people's experience having heard about their diagnosis.
