YOu are so lucky to have people who know what DID is working with you. I have had to read up because I have had so many people (mental health professionals) ask what it means. There was a note on my hospital file about possible DID and the psychiatric nurse actually said, "what is DID?" My counsellor brought up the possibility with me first, and mentioned it to me (I already suspected it) but she admits she knows very little about treatment. At least she has been reading up. She put it in my notes and my GP didn't recognise it. The psychiatric nurse who I saw with the psychiatrist dismissed the possiblity that I have DID, but I am beginning to wonder if that was because he too knows nothing about it....
grrrr, to quote fuzzy.
Anyway, you are SO lucky to be working with someone who knows how to approach it.
