In reply to ddnos switched in front of T bad one, embarrassed, posted by star008 on May 30, 2008, at 23:14:20
Star, i am sorry you experienced this. yes, it is very scary and well, for me it was very embarrasing at first. it was hard to face my T the next session. i was afraid to talk about it, afraid to admit it cuz i thought she thought i was 'making it up' or lying because i NEVER thought of myself as someone with DID. because i was aware of my parts. muffled is right about the co-concious part.
but my parts now know that my T's office is a SAFE place to come out and that has helped me TREMENDOUSLY because they are not coming out all over the place /home, work, mall whatever because i find ways to keep them in toe most of the time till our appt date. i see my T once a week. (cuz that's all i can afford, i'd see her twice a week if i could).
and i have four distinct parts, of which my T has met all of them. Primarily she's met my littleone and that one seems to be the most outspoken...well, there's teen who's very outspoken, mostly just loud, screaming hitting such but doesn't present herself nearly as much.
All i know is that her diagnosing me correctly with this and explaining my dissociation and weird outbursts and childlike emotions and uncontrolled behavior has helped me so much, that i even think it's helped my depression.
and my meds too. cuz before i would explain my outbursts to my doctors and they would think it was part of the Bipolar...it wasn't.i guess my lengthy jabbering comes to a point. long story short is that what happened in your T's office may not have been planned and may have been terribly hard, and scary and even embarrasing to you and your parts, but if your T has experience with DD than this was absolutely PERFECT. and even if he doesn't, but judging from his response he just might.
and NOW you two can work more on making a safe place for your parts to come out and talk, and say what they need to say to your T.
and as for coming out of it....different things work for different people and surprisingly to me (found out the hard way) different things work for different parts, for me anyway. Music mostly works for me..PRimarly for teen, it works to get her in and out. works to get little one out. but it takes reading to get 'middleone' out. and 'OldLady' leaves when she's ready, when the time is right and things are safe...she usually only comes around when one of the other parts wants to hurt themselves.
or when the parts leave and i am able to be not dissociative and be fully in control.i hope some of this helps you.
and be strong Star...you are making great progress.best wishes
B2c.
