I think me being more assertive at certain times as opposed to others has a bit to do with my different parts, and switching. When I am at work, there are two parts who perform our work duties and they are both quite assertive. In T, these parts often don't show up as it is apparently not in their contract? (sarcasm) :~)
Most of the time, the two parts that work don't go to therapy. The ones that do have a much harder time asking for what they need.
I still think though that despite me not being assertive, and her not being a mind reader, it doesn't take the best psycotherapist to come to the conclusion that, if you have a person who has lived through significant trauma and has DID, you uproot them from their community and move them out of state, give them a new job to have to fit in to, and have them living only 100 miles away from their abusers, as opposed to 1000 miles away, and have them switching therapists at the beginning of the Holiday season, they're most likely going to need more emotional support and less "Here, read my handout."
Just sayin'.
