Its got to be a woman.

Absolutely every time, and I have to have a good relationship with the woman. She also must have an understanding of Psychology and mental health issues, especially DID, and severe Anxiety.

She also must be able to get it done quickly, while paying attention to how I am doing, and willing to stop and restart as many times as necessary to get me through it.

I also require that she write a small perscription for a sedative before I go.

This is just what it takes to get through it for me.

If its an emergency situation, I ask to be sedated before whatever doctor has a go at me. This is because ONCE I had to be examined by a man, an old man at that, and it was EXTREMELY traumatic for me.
