Sounds like you have a great atmosphere for working through stuff. Perhaps I will ask to sit on the floor.
Regarding T having my old records: She does not. I had been in therapy 7 years ago when I was working on cutting and stealing (I had been arrested and my case was working itself through the court system). My T then (I’ve since moved to another state) said I was DID (I had been working with her for two years), but I never believed it. She even wrote a letter to the judge explaining my diagnosis, of which I have a copy.
Two months ago, and on top of my world in career and relationship, I’ve returned to therapy to work on the last behavior – eating disorder. I never told this T, an eating disorder specialist, about the diagnosis because I didn’t believe it; however, after 2 months of working with her, things have been stirred up, including what seems like the appearance of parts. As I reflect on the previous diagnosis and my inability to remember things even today, I’m thinking it’s true. I haven’t told T yet, but I think she’s beginning to suspect. I have told her that I dissociate. At the last session, one of the little kids came out at the very end and asked a question. She stopped and said, “Excuse me,” as I’m sure she wasn’t expecting a very confident, hard me to ask such a question.
Anyway, I had called the old T’s office (she retired five years ago) and they’ve destroyed my files, but I do have a copy of that letter she wrote to the judge. I asked if there was any diagnosis noted in the computer and she said 300.15 (which is DDNOS, or something).
