I've had 3 t's now in regards to this topic. #1 would ask about them and how they're doing and she got them a lot - and some would get mad at her. But she didn't think i was DID - this was all just "inner child stuff", forget that i had 3 kids in there. So she would make me switch by asking about them.

#2 could tell when i switched and would demand to know who she was talking to (which was never a good thing; either the alter didn't know, or didn't want to say). I have read that to be true for others as well -that asking for the name is not usually a happy thing.

#3 really hasn't seen any yet. I mean, i know i have switched, but I don't think she can tell. THey are pretty subtle and #2 knew that and could tell by my voice or lack of eye contact. But #3 hasn't seen any of the kids yet. I just sent her an email that was very dramatic in switching and the text fonts differ to make it more clear. I've not had a response on this... Monday will be interesting, me thinks. SH'es pretty new to this as DID but tells me she's worked with many people in "altered states" - i have no idea what that menas!?!

I don't know if that answers your question, free.
