Ok, here’s a small example from my T. She says I have Depression, Anxiety and PTSD. I agree with her first two diagnosis’ but I feel I also have C-PTSD. We’ve talked about it. I think she said C-PTSD isn’t in the current diagnostic manual so she uses ‘PTSD.’ I understand but I disagree. We aren’t fighting about it. I’m not changing T’s over it. It doesn’t change what we do in therapy.

Is it possible for you to still receive benefit from seeing your T if you disagree with him?

I’m sorry you don’t feel he listens to you. Sometimes we have to make a point of bringing our concerns to their attention in therapy. You drive therapy, not him.

You’re doing good work. Keep going.
I did tell him that I disagreed with the diagnosis.

I want to stay with him. I’m pretty sure we can get through this.
