29. Therapy Anxiety; Diagnosis; Good Enough Bond

In the first question, a listener gets really nervous around her therapist and wonders if it’s even worth it.

Our second question (at the 16:40 minute mark) is from someone who wonders why her therapist isn’t talking about the diagnosis on her invoice. We take a few tangents including: the perils of overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis; the limitations of our diagnostic system; the over-identification with labels. It has a slight soapbox vibe but it's not too bad.

In the third question (at 32 minutes), a listener has noticed that we talk about our therapies in very different ways and wonders what makes a good therapy relationship. David finally discloses more about his experience.

You'll hear feedback from episode 28 at 14:30. Go Team Sarah.
