I know what is done here in the USA, ive been in and out of therapy for 11 years, and i fought for my SSI. Trust us, and please dont reply as if we have an almost total lack of knowledge based on what we dont say or articulate. I see you do this with many of our posts and Im afraid I must draw a boundary. You may be trying to be helpful, but it only makes me feel demeaned.
I have read about DID, I have read about therapy for it, I have read just about everything on the ISSTD website and on PODS, i have read about its history, i have read every book i could get my hands on good and bad, and i have struggled two years trying to get help for DID and I know my way around. And thats just for DID, i have other diagnoses as well that I have done reading on. Ive even done reading on things id been misdiagnosed with. Theres a reason the counselor said I should become a therapist. I had to figure those things out for survival. So I read. I read a lot.
We are trying everything we can and have been in this "game" for a while. I would not have made this post or even considered such a drastic measure if we were not doing everything we could with so little result.

sorry my post upset you, my wording was not correct. what I meant to say insurance companies do not do the search for treatment providers. some state (medicaid\,medicare) insurance programs now .....assign....a treatment provider. how that works is they look in their list (the same treatment provider listing in the membership booklet) see which treatment providers have not reached their state quota for how many clients they can have, if that treatment provider has not reached their quota for medicaid\medicare clients the insurance .....assigns....the client to that treatment provider. that said a client can call the insurance program that works this way and put in a request for their choice of treatment provider from their membership booklet. and if that treatment provider has not reached their quota for number of clients they will be ....assigned...that treatment provider.
