We sent the below to the helpline so hopefully it is passed on to who we spoke to..



Hi,

I know that the counsellor we usually talk to (*) is on leave now until the 8th of October and that our emails usually get passed on to her but if you could please pass this onto * that would be great. We called her on Thursday 11th Sept and another part came out after our psych was brought up and there has been a lot of fighting, confusion and uncertainty that has come up between everyone from that call over who is safe for Lauren and us as a whole to talk to and confide in. I think it is also only fair that * is given an explanation over what happened as she seemed quite confused.

Hi *,

My name is Elisa and I am writing this on behalf of Lauren and the other parts. I guess the best way to describe who I am is by what our psych calls me, I am the protector of us all and it is my duty to keep Lauren and everyone else safe and alive. Lauren called you on Thursday and I know that Lauren trusts you a lot but Cady doesn’t, but then Cady finds it very hard to trust anyone. Cady says that Lauren and Lizzie trust people way too easily and so Cady is forever coming out trying to test people to see how much they care and if they can really be trusted. She stops people from hurting us all.

Lizzie is only 5 and she likes our psych a lot. Lizzie is who you ended up talking to. She is very shy but she does like talking to nice people. She comes out so fast and especially when our psych is mentioned. When you told Lauren of the changes you had observed Lizzie hid back inside and Lauren came back briefly, then Kaylee was forced to come out. Kaylee rarely talks because she is smart and knows we only get into trouble and get hurt when we speak. She is 5 also but a very smart little girl. She shuts down a lot. Lauren is still there when we come out but barely and she is very distant. Most of the time she doesn’t realise when one of us has come out and this scares her a lot. It scared her that it happened with you and she felt very stupid and uncomfortable. We don’t come out much in sessions but this time Lizzie couldn’t help herself after our psych was brought up, I apoligise. I do try to control the others but it does get hard and especially between Lizzie and Ella.

All of this DID stuff is really scaring Lauren but hopefully after our assessment and once the report is written up she will be feeling more at ease.

Cady doesn’t want Lauren to call you again but I see that her talking to you is very helpful. I will do my best to talk to everyone and explain that Lauren should be in charge of who is on our treatment team and who we talk and confide in as long as they are safe. I think over the time you have both been talking that you are safe for us to talk to so thank you.

Regards,
Elisa
