I'd hold off at first and interview them. Ask them do they specialize in trauma? Do they have any experience in trama related disorders?

I blurted out to my new Pdoc at our first meet- or another did, and I get the feeling that we are nuts to her :/. I'll find out in 2 days! Lol

Keep a journal, start putting your thoughts down and a daily log. Have a section describing your past experiences.

But for a previous DX, I'd definetly talk about that...the skitzophrenia part.

My approach would be is 'just listen to my story, and what I suspect, is it plausible' after all the skitzophrenia DX might murk up the waters. Going in their proclaiming something will make them think your psychotic. I'd let them weed through all that and make the call after a few meetings.

I'd mention I took a test that suggests a form of dissociation after a few meets, and see if they would like to look at it.

Thus would be my approach, I think. I wish I started that way but I hung my own! Lol. Whatever, it's not like we're going to die tomorrow!

Good luck!
