Also if you look it up on other sites, or even try to find books on it, it would all be a great way to gain research as you progress with this.

A new therapist is definitely needed, and although you don't have to necessarily get rid of this one, you must find someone who knows the field of DID real well. Someone who HAS had DID patients, or even an expert if at all possible. Don't be discouraged, you have done a lot of good the last week. You have realized the problem, you nipped it in the bud for now, and you are now searching for a way to get to the root and get help. Telling your therapist was another great step, and you are definitely headed in the right direction. So don't be discouraged about your therapist, just keep putting your feet forward and moving on with this. I'll continue to keep up with this thread and watch your progress. Good luck, and I hope we can all help you through this as well.
Thanks E-D
I have learned more in the past few days than I think my therapist has ever learned about the subject! The one thing I did learn is that DID can be triggered by a traumatic event and Kat first appeared about 3-4 days after a very traumatic experience I had in January 2009. It was really frightening to think that event could have triggered this new personality in me. I am afraid to even mention it to my wife.

Here's to finding a new talk doc.
