Hey Amyjay,

It took a while for me before anyone came out but my therapist was understanding and patient and worked on stuff specific to me until others felt comfortable coming out.

In the long run, it'll probably be beneficial for your therapist to get to know everyone so she can better support you, but she definitely shouldn't be pushing for them to all identify themselves at the expense of your comfort.

If she has experience working with DID, she should know that it will take time for everyone to learn to feel comfortable working with her and it's not something she can rush. I would definitely let her know if she's pushing your boundaries.
Thanks for this!
