M therapist seems pretty label aversive which I think in general is a good thing. It means he's treating me as a person, not a diagnosis. That being said, I'm quite obviously depressed and that is what he's reported for insurance purposes. We also had a discussion recently about whether I have PTSD. When it came up in session, he ran through all the diagnostic criteria and all the symptoms I have that meet each criteria. For that diagnosis, I feel it was helpful to me, because I suspected it was true, but wasn't sure. I feel like I can stand up for myself more now if that makes sense.
