I just realized something. Last session or maybe the one before, T gave me a diagnosis.

He's never done that before. We've worked on doing what I needed to do in order to heal, and weren't concerned with labels. Of course, I probably have multiple things going on (e.g. I had major depression, which I worked on with my previous T), but what he said was PTSD. I basically ignored it when he said that and he didn't push it on me and conversation continued on to something else.

I feel a little strange about this. I can certainly see that my childhood trauma is a root of many current problems. I looked up the diagnostic criteria for PTSD, and I have all of them. I guess this is no surprise to me, as we have done EMDR and trauma work in therapy. It just feels strange to have him say "PTSD" to me.
