Hey Yellowbird,
First of all, thanks for your post back on my post. ;-) I have to think we help ourselves as well as help others, when we help others. Know what I mean?I'm not sure I'm in the best person to have a thought about your therapist's jump to diagnose you - or even mention something like that on the phone. I don't know all of the history between you - sounds like it has been very good. But why the push to come up with something like this? (BTW, I know nothing of any of the diagnosis's out there - I totally avoid it.)
This may be just me reacting with my own stuff, OK? But it feels like when she is turning these things around on you and asking you what you think about your dx and pushing you to accept one of these - seems like she is trying to will you intellectually to change. Especially feels that way cause it's over the phone. How can she be there to give you all of the support you need when considering such things over the phone? Feel free to defend. I might be being too critical cause of my state. Just seems like these are big things that Of Course are going to bring up emotions, etc. that the phone cannot support.
I guess the other thing is that you aren't your mother. I mean, I know you know that, but really this is one of the things that I am getting for myself - I may have internalized similar behaviors (some behaviors) as my parents, but I am different and have a lot more choices. Or will, eventually - when the therapy does its thing. ;-)
Ah, I just feel like this is useless right now. But just know that I came right home and to the computer to see how you were.
Hang in there.
FMD
