i remember my t (one of many t's) telling me i was fractured and had "inner children". i was already beginning to wonder about DID. I knew that when T said some things - i'd suddenly be a kid who thought she was an adult and T said my eyes sparked. or that when t asked about another (named) "inner child" I coulnd't drive home because 8 yr olds can't. see?
so i asked her if i was DID and she said absolutely not. because her definition of DID was vastly different. I had to stop working with her because she was making things worse for me by calling my "non-alters" by name and pissing off others.
since then, another therapist aand a PsyD have officially diagnosed it in me.
just goes to show, eh?
