I have DID so if one of my other parts come out and start talking to him he will let them talk. Sometimes when he's done talking with them he'll ask to speak to me again.

If I just dissociate in general and not necessarily switch he sometimes will notice and ask me how present I am. If I'm pretty far out there he will take the time to ground me bring me back. If we are doing EMDR and I'm more than 20% not present he will definitely stop because he said EMDR processing does not work if I'm dissociated.

He also though suggested that I tape my sessions and I have been doing that for about the past 6 months. He knows I go in and out of dissociation and I don't really hear or remember a lot of things he says so sometimes if he's saying something really important he'll ask me to be sure I'm recording. Recording sessions really helps.
