Hi tinydancer. Thanks for sharing that wonderful post. Do not post here often guess just feel like cutting in sometimes. But felt the need to reply to you. Also DID. Like you took many years of finding out what is going on. The voices etc. Found a wonderful T but he moved a few years ago. Stopped therapy due to the pain of loosing him and the trust. Got into a gambling problem in which turned us to therapy which could not stand this person. Did not go till couple of months after that. Anyway it was a tough start. He finally agreed about the DID. No kidding. He said that had many clients come in there that said they were and were not. He has worked with one male in the past. This person is there speaks with all of them and most important believes. Sees us twice a week and has done everything possible to earn trust. In this area there are not many that work with DID. Its very difficult to find a good therapist. So you are not alone. Do I feel different yes in many ways. How many times feel like not normal etc. Sometimes want to share with someone about what is going on but cannot. People will always say something that did or said but they laugh it off as being me. Its painful work. This T does not believe in intergration which old T did. So yes there is some confusion but this one is much much better. Never thought could trust another T. But sessions are so so difficult. Sometimes do not think will survive this but will. Have an inner therapist as she is called. Not sure how many other parts. This week and the coming weekend is very difficult here. Many emotions. Also still test this T in many ways which did today. Cannot react sometimes in a logical way. As you know many feelings and opinions on things. Well hope this is not to long and again thanks for sharing. Nice to talk with someone who is DID. Have a good day.
