I relate to this. Meds have not helped due to intolerable side effects and I have not found a competent therapist who has the ability to put their negative countertransference and/or other ''issues'' (such as poorly hidden NPD) aside to be even somewhat competent. I too have only found insight helpful and I've had to develop this mostly on my own (definitely not helped by any ''therapist'' in ''real'' life.)

''Two clinicians may be looking at the same symptoms but seeing and naming them differently based on different contexts, which can include the clinician's own biases, differences in training, and what the client... reports''
Completely agree and have experienced exactly that
