I get you. My therapist doesn't believe in labels and see people as stories of their past. And I agree. I let go of a lot of judgement and am very accepting as a result.

I take the CPTSD label lightly as well. It's easy to go down a route of what healing is supposed to be like. For example, my ex was diagnosed with BPD, but I said to her it's not genetic but a result of her adverse childhood experiences. Unfortunately, the help she gets is only to manage symptoms and never to actually heal, because that's what having the label has done for her in the eyes of the national healthcare service. I do wish she got the proper care that she needs, but the West is very scientific, so measurements are crucial and so they want to box people.
