yes I how hearing that an alter is a delusion based alter. It may be that this treatment provider had no choice but to label your alters as delusional alters, especially if your recent test results (if Im remembering right you recently underwent diagnostic evaluations) showed the alters did not fit the new diagnostics that are for dissociative type alters.

it doesnt mean you dont have alters, just that the alters you have didnt fit the diagnostics for dissociative type. there are many different kinds of alters.

the good side of having a delusional alter rather than a dissociative type is that there are now more treatment options available to you. it may take some time to find the right treatment combinations but now that you know what type of alter you have its just a matter of time before you will have the control over this biting alter that you have struggled so hard to figure out and get a handle on how to help this alter. who knows maybe the solution is as simple as finding a medication combo that will help this alter.

having a delusional type alter not a dissociative type alter doesnt mean the same treatment for dissociative alters cant be done. many people that I know with delusional type alters are on the very same treatment plans as a person with dissociative type alters because that is what their alters respond to and make progress forwards with.

suggestion.... give it some time. now that you have a treatment provider who understands what type of alter you have, maybe this is the right treatment provider to help you and this alter to get better. discovering what type of alter one has is for some people the first step in a long road to healing,

who knows maybe hearing the worst news ... that your alter is a delusional alter not a dissociative one..... is over and things will start to look up for you all now.

hard news to hear...yes but it is a step in the right direction to know what type of alter one has.
