Canada does follow the same diagnostic criteria for DID as the USA. We use the DSM-5 as well.

CalmingOcean- It takes time to get a correct diagnosis. A good pdoc will not slap a label on you until he/she is very sure what the problem is. This is necessary so they can provide the proper treatment. Perhaps this is why your T isn't in a big rush to use EMDR.

Your T is right about therapy. It will only work when you're able to trust her enough to tell her anything. They can't do a proper diagnosis if they don't know the whole story. I know how terribly hard this can be. It took me a long time to trust mine and I'm still not all the way there yet.
