Three quick questions for people who have DID and are in therapy:

1) What does your T do when you switch in session and the end of the session is near? Does your T try and get "you" back or let whoever is out go? In my case, there is NO control about who is out, so T just lets whoever leave, etc.

Over the years the therapist has seen many switches within a session but we do a 'calming relaxing technique' near the end of each session for about 1/2 hr in order to bring the parts to a resting state. When still really 'spacey' they suggest we go for a safe walk before we drive and remind us that an adult is best to be out to drive (that was discussed at a few of our sessions too). The rule is no one under 16 drives, which is the law here anyway.

2) What does your T do when you switch in session and forget everything? Does your T tell you what happened? or just ignore it?

Sometimes with all that goes on in a session I have asked the therapist to go over what happened as at that moment I cannot remember. The therapist takes maybe 3 minutes to briefly describe, in a kind of positive way, like not saying too much but just enough, if it was a really hard session. I am grateful for this as I am better able to do the outworking on the following days till we meet again. I didn't always ask for this though, all the time and if an adult is there it may not be required.

3) Has your T ever gotten mad at an alter?
