Anyways, welcome to PC!
We as a class of people have endured so much pain since the beginning of life that we are lucky to be here. On top of all that has happened to us, we now have to deal with this, but because of this, we are survivors of the trauma and abuse caused upon us. This does make it hard to trust anyone. For therapy to work, T shopping is probably a thing to do to find one that you feel comfortable with. Other than personality, also look at their experience as a trauma therapist.
I wouldn't pay too much mind to a label, but more to recovery. A rose by any other name is still a rose. We know the symptoms, the why, and what it takes to repair the obvious as much as we don't want to admit it. Unfortunately, going back to the beginning is a process it takes to heal.
When it comes to memories, our minds know what's real and what's false, so if I feel like a T was trying to lead me (you'll be able to tell), I got an other that isn't scared of giving the T a black eye, if not triggering the Angry One. Lol

She is a trauma specialist. I was referred to her from a day treatment program I was attending. You're right I didn't want to hear any of this.
I've had so many diagnoses over the years it's rediculous. I currently only take migraine meds and vitamins.
I took the day off from day treatment to try and map myself/selves and draw a corresponding picture for each one. Not like a face but abstract representation.
I think there's like 5 frequently appearing alters. I do appreciate the Angry teen but she's done her job and it's time for her to take a break. Permanently. Oh god I don't want to trigger her.......
I'd like to sit and have a conversation with the one man, whose had to carry the thought disorder psychosis mental illness.l, the hospitalisations, day treatment, pharmacy trips. He's been through a lot, almost like a war. I'd like to why male? He is oddly comfortable. Older. Why?
Why is one a different religion and has been since little?
Where is original me in all this what do I even like and dislike?
I know you can't answer my questions. Just thinking out loud because I'm terrified to verbalize these things to my husband and have him think I'm I don't even know.
I used to think one of these in particular was my past lives coming out and I was some sort of psychic medium. Maybe I'm just really out there idk. I chalked another up to "hormones" I reasoned more memory and time loss up to "atypical migraines"
