thanks - it is hard starting over. I've only seen her now 4 times. and she's new to DID/MPD - her speciality is anxiety (which is also a plus for some alters).

You know, I do the same thing - avoid the issues in T then process and write about it and give t what I wrote. My new one has said this is immeasurably helpful to her. but on the issue i am avoiding, i really don't know how to work on it. And i try to sweep the rest under the rug. I suppose when the time is right, maybe i'll work on those. And maybe you will too. I've read some about "blocks" in T and how to get around them - it might be helpful to you to read some stuff too. That way in the meantime you both may find something that keeps the conversation going while not having to hit *the* issue right now. make any sense? i can never go back to my old t who knew what the issue was that i was avoiding - too much time and life stuff has happened, even in one year. I can't go back. see if you can stay with your t and find new avenues to talk through - it may lead you to where you need to be in the end.
best to you!
