Not sure what to write. So much going on. Inside outside. Had therapy last evening and always so difficult. Many tears. Therapist is working with me staying present to talk as much as possible. Kept telling him do not want to be there and talk. Did everything possible to stay present and was able to talk some. Not good at all. Hurts so very much. T is wonderful. But still keep him at a distance due to not wanting to get hurt which know stops things. Just hurt so much when old T left a few years ago. Also times when called he takes for ever to call back or few times did not receive message. Last week that happend. Did not get message. Puts turmoil. He was upset and said he would take care of it. Last night he said do not hesitate and call if need anything. Right. He did help when leaving asked him please do not make me walk out there alone. Paranoid. He said of course not and walked behind and said right behind you. So very fourtante to have found him Gives much hope. But really do not think have any transference with him because of the way he does therapy. He is honest and answers anything. Think that helps much. Wish all of you had this t. And guess what he believes all. Am DID and hard to find someone that works with this. Thanks for listening. Just so very hard.

Hey RS,
Therapy really is hard, but you keep working at it. I know that you are trying your hardest to learn and make progress. Keep on plugging away at it, it does sound like (over time) things are getting a little better in therapy.
That was so sweet of him to walk you to your car. And I'm glad that he was angry about not getting the message last week. Maybe now he'll do something about the phone call situation.

Hi rs,
Your new therapist seems very caring: walking you to your car and telling you that you can call him whenever you need him.
I hope everything works well with him. Keep us posted.

It is hard and you should be proud of yourself that you keep going back - you know you need to do this and you are really doing good work to get better. I'm glad you like your new Therapist. I think trust takes an enormous amount of time so give yourself that time.
Keep posting. It really does help to know you aren't alone.
And you aren't. We're all here to help...

Sorry about the misunderstanding with my post. Meant when asked for him to walk with me was to the waiting room. Was upset and did not want to get stared at. Sometimes he does and other times not. Yes this is hard and you know that Daisy. But both of us will be ok. We have good therapist working with us.
