Welcome to PC.  I so understand not believing. I denied the diagnosis for several years.
I can understand your fears. As you've been working through things, have you noticed that your memory is not there for present things? For example, when you self injured or stole, did you have memory of doing that? The reason I asked was as T and I were working through some things, we were trying to figure out why I did some of the things I did. As we progressed, we realized that there was no memory of time right before or during the incidents. It turned out that other parts of my brain were doing these things as they were triggered. I would "wake up" at the end or sometimes in the middle, wondering what was going on. It made it very hard to work through some things because I did not know what had happened prior. For some things we were able to gain information but even now still, it can be hard. But, T knowing that it was other parts helped us immensely to know how to handle things.
Perhaps you can ask some questions to T about her beliefs in things before you tell her about the findings of the former T? I don't think she will think you are a nut. No matter what is going on for you, there are reasons for it and it's understandable.
As far as your partner, you are in complete control of your therapy. If you do not want your partner involved, that is your right and your T should respect that. Just simply say "No" (haha, I know the word "No" is not that simple though).
Again, welcome to Psych Central. I hope you will find lots of good support here.
