The labels, as I have been told many, many times; are more for insurance information than anything else.

It's logical and it makes sense, but even with my T (who's truly amazing and I never thought I'd say that about a T with my experience), I still interpret these "labels" as more harmful than good. Especially if you get hung up on them, they can be damaging.

I'm really not okay, psychologically speaking, but if I didn't have therapy to help guide me through this, I don't want to imagine where I'd end up. It wasn't always like this, though, as I've had bad experiences with professionals and felt so much worse when attending those sessions. I believe my journey to find a T that could actually help was one of the single best things I have ever done for myself. It took a lot, though, but has been worth it, thus far.
