I Sent T this email, well since he decided I am not DID:
"The type of therapy modality you switched to with me (parts integration?) work for any issue? I only ask because since you did switch to that I am having an easier time making it through the days because I do not feel like I am just trying to survive or existing until until I die. Well that was yesterday anyway and I had a long day. I had an easier time pushing "parts' thoughts out of the way. I tried to use containment on something when with a client but it was hard to focus.
Now if I can only stay consistent in that frame of mind for a string of days and flip back and forth from a free feeling to a dark heavy feeling."
He Replied:
"the type of modality really only works when there is a part of you that is fully capable, functional, and willing to do some hard work. You use this type of modality when other parts are getting in the way of that capable part from being present some or most of the time.
In essence, it means the best adult self is very high functioning with lots of good qualities but something is preventing it from being present at all times."

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. 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.
