hi Dinah. First of all do not post here often. So sorry for just jumping in. Thought your post was interesting.
First of all I am DID. Like to say am and not have. Not sure on why. Anyway took many years for someone to believe and figure out what is going on. I know in this area there is not many that work with it at all. Also think is the believing part but also its a long process. Had a T for sometime but he moved away. UGH. After a few years finally had to search out again. Actually called people and no one would see me. Finally found the one seeing now and he is the best. Believes etc. Is not scared or back off from anyone that speaks with him. Think he does not. Also when started to see him told him what was going on. He totally ignored it. Anyway finally he looks and say yes you are DID. No kidding. He said that he has had many people go in there and say they are but not. Why people would fake this I asked. He said for attention etc. How sad. He has only worked with one before me. So not sure if this is any help. But IMO think it takes a darn open minded therapist and special one to work with DID. Also IMO DID clients should be seen at least twice a week and at times will be in crisis. I feel for you if you are trying to expalin your ego states and how and what is going on for you.
