Sweetie,
I had a number of thoughts when re-reading your first post. I think it's unfortunate when a dx follows your around like the cloud of dirt over Pig Pen on Charlie Brown. It's just not fair to assign negative meaning like that. It is what it is. However, I suppose if a T is leery of working with you, then perhaps they would not be good for you anyway. Is there anyone in your area who specializes in clients with problems such as yours?Also, I think it stinks if your pdoc gives you the impression that because you are functioning better than his worse off clients, you don't need to have all your symptoms treated. However, I think there are times when it is more helpful to keep a lid on the emotional stuff and the unconscious and focus on support rather than uncovering. Some people, and I don't know if you are one of them, do better to NOT uncover yucky stuff, and rather to learn to contain it.
Perhaps that is your pdocs and prior T's point of view?
I'm sorry, though that you are wanting help to get better and you are meeting road blocks. Keep trying. Our system is not great, and sometimes it takes persistence on the part of the client, which, unfortunately, is not always easy given that we are already struggling.
Take care, sweetie.
