When I first started seeing my T, I felt there was no way I would ever be able to reach him - to show him who I was in the midst of all his other clients. That is how my mind saw it. But then a few sessions into the T relationship, T paused when I asked him if he ever worked with anyone else like me who had DID / MPD . He looked far away and said "Yes. I had one client who had DID many years ago. I didn't get to work with her much because she moved. But I sometimes wonder how she is doing these days."

Something happened for me when he said that. It was like I felt that he doesn't just drop the clients emotionally when they are gone. That he must care on a deep level.
And even when there are times I think he doesn't see me at all - that I am just another session to him, I think back to him saying that and the look in his eyes and I know he really does care.
