Thank you for posting and for asking those questions. Things have changed for us as we have gotten farther along in the healing and co-consciousness.

1.) When I first started out my t did not try to get me to come back unless I would but at least one of the older ones that could drive and take care of the littles. If she could not get them to switch out, she would not let us leave until someone that could get us home came forth. Sometimes it was one of the others that went to session and I did not even step forth but they always kept our appointments and was not late. Now, my t encourages those within to come out and to say what they need or want to say but since we have co-consciousness now, I always come back by the end of session. So it has changed since the beginning when no one knew about anyone else.

2.) Many times when I used to switch in session my t did not tell me what happened because I did not want to know for it was all I could take knowing someone else came forth and I was trying to accept that there were others. When I moved I asked my friend to tell me if it was real or if it was not as I was still having a hard time believing I was DID. Now, when I have session, my t does not have to tell me as I have co-consciousness most of the time. If I am not there then sometimes depending on if I want to know he will tell me. But many times I can ask within and find out. My t does not push it on me for at times they are reaching and when they are ready as me, then I will be told. Right now, those that write seem to write so I know what they have to say.

3.) My t does not get angry at me. The t's I have had have all been kind to all within and myself. No matter how many times we ask questions and so many times the same question over and over again as everyone within is trying to find that safety and trust, they never get angry but answer in the same calm and assuring way as the last. And those within seem to know it is okay to ask as many time as they need to for they never knew it was okay and there never was any trust. They seem to all ask the same type of questions just some ask them more deeply and more adamently at times and more persistant. But our t's do not yell at any time. One of my t's would write a post-it every time we went for us to carry with us that she cared and she was not going anywhere. Many other things she would write down and she would always ask what color of post-it we wanted that day. We collected them and they are still in the fronts of our journals and we still can read them anytime we need to.

Again than you for posting and hope this helps you some. Sending gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
