I meant to add before I pushed the button, that this agrees with what my T. told me - that I don't have a personality disorder, but do have severe complex PTSD. I know people dread being told that they have a high degree of a personality disorder, but I think therapists are far more skillful than they used to be at helping people with those. They are just beginning to be skilled at treating PTSD, but things are improving there, also. I feel lucky to have a T. who is skilled and experienced with PTSD, but I do think it is a slow, arduous process overcoming it. In a year and a half, I know much more about what my abuses were, but I can't say that I have yet overcome their effect on my life to any great extent. It's just going to be a slow process, even with the strong positive relationship I've developed with my T.
