To put it in terms you'd understand: how would you know what type of disease you have, unless your doctors have a label for it? You wouldn't know. How do you know which type of medication to take for which disease? Without a label? You wouldn't know, would you.


So, labels ARE necessary. It's how we function in society. We label everything. Without labels there is just chaos and disorder.


So, I am sorry but I think you and Sarah are so far off base, you're not even at the same game so to speak.


I do agree with your perception that I displayed boundaries he didn't want to respect. In that aspect, you are correct.


Yes labels are important but I think my question is are you qualified to label someone just because of an encounter you may have had ? Maybe you have more information to offer on the relationship you had with this person and if that’s the case then my apologies to you for disagreeing. But when I said the label was used too much or however I said it, I meant by people that are not a part of mental health treatment or the mental health field.
