> I know you'll tell me if I am wrong, but from past posts of yours, I've gotten the idea that you have complex PTSD, with a disorder on the dissociative spectrum, such as an ego state disorder.
You nailed it.
> I think the very best kind of therapy for this is intensive psychotherapy- the kind that daisym and I are having, where you have a chance to both explore the different parts of yourself, as well as the chance to form a really strong attachment to a therapist who will stick with you. With DBT, you can't really do either one of those things. Is this available for you- for example in the in-patient situation you are exploring? If it isn't, you could obtain it if you come to the US for graduate studies. It might mean becoming a patient of a psychoanalyst in training(those people would already have had very good psychotherapy training, but would be able to see you frequently at a very low fee).Frequency and the strength of attachment seem to be very important in allowing the different ego states to become conscious and more integrated.Yeah, I guess now that you mention it that is what I want. But it is something I have never been able to have. I was hoping it would be available at Ashburn, that was the whole point in going.
> This may not meet your needs for psychotherapy- I was just replying to your hope that there was something out there for you besides what you've already had.Thankyou.
I am so sorry everyone that I have been such a terror on this thread.
I am just sour and jealous.
I am really sorry.
You can argue most anything with reason
But what seems intuitive to defend
Can be very f*cked up indeed.
