My T knows about all my diagnoses and I have been diagnosed with "autistic traits" besides having depression and anxiety. But my T has known this from the start and as they are only traits of I donīt see that as an obstacle to getting better. My T is used to work with clients who has full diagnoses like ADHD and Aspergers and wouldnīt work with me if she saw I had a diagnosis that per se stopped me from getting better from therapy.
I think my loneliness and poor social network is a big part of why therapy sometimes doesnīt feel helpful. I have very little input from others, I now talk about closer friends to just hang out with. I have a few friends but they are more like "friends for coffee" than someone to seek for emotional support.
I try to look upon this like if my T had seen me as non curable she had stopped therapy. Sometimes Iīm not convinced of that either but I try to think that way to keep a little bit of hope.
