She is a good therapist but she has never heard voices. I did once a long time ago. I know the difference. I just wanted to know from someone who has experienced something similar to what I have. I didn't know about the test for voices. I will ask her about that. I am not sure if my thinking is correct but that one issue has been the thing that I have held on to to deny my having DID. I am having a difficult time, even in the face of the obvious, accepting my diagnosis. Some of my moods absolutely don't want this to be true. I am not sure if they are afraid something will happen to them. Because it won't and I have told them that. I am also only finding out now that not all my moods know each other. And I think that is also a concern for some. They are finding out that there is stuff going on that they don't know about. I will mention these concerns to my therapist. Maybe saying it out loud I can move past the fear. I appreciate your response. Thank you.
the tests arent for "voices". example your therapist wont here the voices that you are hearing. the tests are to diagnose mental disorders such as DID. and other dissociative disorders. it is a very long process that now days is very accurate in diagnosing mental disorders as long as the person being tested is cooperative and doing it with complete honesty.
