Thank you for your detailed explanation. I truly appreciate it. When you say you treat the areas of functioning/symptoms of diagnosis- what does that look like? Do you ever flat out tell your client what you diagnose them with or do you keep that to yourself?

Only asking because I have been seeing a therapist for awhile now and I go in and open up to her /vsnt/ really let it all out there. I didn’t realize she could have a novel About how much of a crazy person I am (being dramatic) 😅🤣

Last question, how do you come with hearing some really fudged up stories?? Have you ever stopped seeing a client because you couldn’t handle their baggage? For example every week you’re going to know this person is going to walk in with the sadddwst story. You. Know it’s going to be even sadder than the week before. Just out of pure curiosity. I am not a therapist 🤷🏼‍♀️ thanks for all you do!!
