I have been doing EMDR for over a year now and my T too said we need to stop for a while until I get my switching under control. He is wanting to work more on parts for a while before we go back to EMDR. He said we won't make much progress at this time.
It doesn't help that I am currently in a stage where I want to stick my head in the sand and not accept the DID or parts. I have been taking a break for the past few weeks. We will probably start discussing parts again on Friday because I really do want to get better.
I don't think his email response was that bad. I think what he is saying is not to get too stuck on the official dx whether DID or another dissociative issue the work to fix it is very similar.

I told him he was speculating and he said No, not speculating just fine tuning a diagnosis.
How do your symptoms manifest themselves?

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
