Faith, according to that link I posted with DID information, DID therapy really does need to be more than 1x week for trauma work. I started off that way and ended up seeing T for emergancy session every single week between normal sessions. A person just needs that support when doing this deep work. I think once trauma work is done, the 1x week or even 2x month is fine. But DID is a killer to have. Litterally. They say the SU rate is very high with DID. And we all know why that is!!!! It is one of the most inventive ways a mind has to stay alive during the trauma, but the fallout is so painful when all we want to do is just live a "normal" life like everyone else.

It is not easy to take down those walls - I will tell you the truth on that.
And it is not easy to have to hear what the alters need to say in session and such.
They hid things for a reason. Things that tore us apart emotionally as children.
The agony of the trauma is still inside those alters. They are just containers we had to make to store the bomb until we were adults and could figure out what to do with the stuff those @ss wipes who abused us handed over to us. SOBs.

And this makes you very angry to know what others did to us as a child. So we have to deal with all the emotions from all the alters and try to figure out what to do with all the stuff. It sucks and stinks and is not fair period.

But the thing is that it really is going to be worth the hard work. I keep telling myself that and now I can finally feel times when all the alters are here but no one is hurting and we are just all kinda chilling out.

It is a real riot to talk with everyone in our system at once though! And the whole hair thing is just insane when you have boys who want one thing and girls who want something else. OMG!!! At least when there were walls, the hair belonged to whomever happened to be out. LOL.

But this way of life allows us the freedom to choose which alter we want to listen to and why... if that makes any sense. It is more of an adult way of being a person with DID rather than a person with DID who is trying to be an adult. So that freedom and knowing of what the alters are thinking is a frickin HUGE HUGE HUGE pay-off to all this rear-busting work. :-)
