Cognitively stimulating presentation!! Psychodynamic Therapy seems more effective in Mary's case. Dialectical B approach can possibly give more insight into her suffering and learn mood regulation too.

mary is practically me. why have my therapists not given me an official diagnosis, or an actual formulation? I feel like this makes a lot of sense, but i've never has a therapist set an agenda or explain anything to me

Hi ChemicalDroid There are many different approaches used in counselling and psychotherapy. As a person-centred student counsellor I don't feel it is my place to make assumptions about clients but rather I hope to facilitate their own development of self-awareness in the therapeutic relationship. I don't like to pigeon-hole people as I believe we have many facets, strengths and weaknesses. It is more a case of the client picking out individual aspects of themselves as they explore their thoughts and feelings while I provide a safe, authentic and no judgmental space for them to do so. Through my acceptance of the client; warts and all, I hope to reverse the 'conditions of worth' acquired during earlier life in the hope that the client can learn to accept themselves. If a diagnosis is what you think would be useful for you, then its worth checking out the approach a therapist is using. I would also suggest that you could raise this issue as a useful topic of conversation with your therapist. The 'here and now' is a fertile ground.
