Yes, he does. He says he prefers to work with patients who have the more severe problems, and has worked a lot with DID, and PTSD from all sorts of childhood abuse, trauma and neglect.. He is beginning to publish some of these thoughts, with case histories of patients he has treated; frankly, even though they make a lot of sense, I don't think I have ever come across these ideas in anything I have read or heard before- have you?
I haven't learned to do what he's suggesting yet, either- I'm just trying to at this stage! On a slightly different note, I have always thought that the "fit" and sense of connectedness between therapist and patient is one of the most powerful forces in helping people get better. If you have that, maybe you just automatically begin building these internal bridges, because you do feel so safe. I was thinking of the relationship which you have with your therapist, which sounds like a very strong one.
