Oh I'm so sorry the director carries that frame of reference regarding DID. Many do, you know? I don't understand it, really, what the big deal is to them and the therapists. I mean, with that mentality it makes me wonder if they also believe that by talking about suicide with a patient that it will make them do it.

I wish clinics were run differently, in general. A new director huh? Someone hired her and is responsible for her to get paid.. contingent on the patients not leaving. Why not, if you're able, contact the person over the director? If everyone did that, they would see the upheaval the new director has caused. I could see all new patients coming in with DID having to comply with a new policy, but forcing patients into changing therapists midstream is just not cool. She might just want the T gone for the way she believes about DID.

Hang in there. Let the T work this out if she can. It isn't the end of the world though it surely must feel that way to you. I think the T was working on opening her own practice. That is difficult if she is not licensed and already has her supervisory time done. (In some states it's 3 years for a master's degreed person.) She can find someone else to supervise, which she would have to do unless she changes for the director, see? The director probably supervises her and won't give her approval for the time unless she changes her approach, or changes her patients. Sigh. What some ppl do with newly found power, eh?

I'm sorry you're in turmoil.
