In this follow-up episode, we dive into your most pressing questions about navigating the complicated world of mental health labels. When is a diagnosis helpful? When might it be limiting? And what should you do when you're convinced you (or someone else) has a specific condition?

In conversation, we tackle:

* Why your therapist might hesitate to confirm your self-diagnosis (even after working together for years)

* The delicate balance between validating someone's experience and responsibly diagnosing conditions like CPTSD

* How to approach a loved one who's in a relationship with someone showing narcissistic traits (spoiler: don't lead with "they're a narcissist")

* Whether pursuing an ADHD diagnosis is worthwhile when you've already built a successful life and career

* The important questions to ask yourself when considering whether to pursue a formal diagnosis

* Why some diagnoses feel like relief while others feel devastating

* How to decide what's right for you when it comes to labeling your experiences
