I just don't know if the understanding is there. By the way, I haven't worn a dress in about that long also. When my daughter was married I asked if I need to wear one and she graciously said no a pantsuit would work. Thank goodness.

My t explained to me that I am still dissociating the body because I understand it to be it's own entity and that the rest of us are in the mind. She asked me if it would be ok to video a session than view it and discuses it. No one wanted to do that. The minute she said it I felt fear and like I needed to defend myself. I felt attacked. I told my t no before she could finish the sentence. I said no over and over. My t said that that was fine and that we don't have to do it. She said she just thought it might help us to move forward. I have looked in the mirror in the past and not recognized myself. It frightened me greatly. That is when I stopped looking in the mirror unless I needed to. When that happened I didn't know I was DID. I think that is why it scared me so much. It makes me wonder if I should try looking in the mirror to see if it helps us. Maybe I will. Anyway, if anything I have said helped you I am glade. Take care.
