I definitely understand. I used to be obsessed with figuring out *why* I did the things I did. To the point where I went through psychological testing and everything.
A big part of that understanding was understanding parts of borderline personality disorder. Not only do I have the traits, but I have even more of the underlying issues. I underlined a good many passages of "Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder" and marked the books with flags and brought it in to read to my therapist.
Yes, I've found it very helpful to have the framework.
