Recently in therapy I've realized after six years I have other parts to me. They feel separate. One is rageful and has come out in therapy and been accusatory towards my therapist over certain decisions or mistakes made on his end that have had me spinning.

He's told me that the rageful part named michael should not be given a voice. I told him then the anger gets turned on me. Twice now he's said go and get a second opinion then and once recently said during a heated exchange that I can leave if I want to and he won't care. That hurts me the most.

Is he talking to michael or me? Is this a technique or am I right he's sick of me and my complexity. I am suffering mentally, going through medictions changes that make me worse, he agrees I need to leave work, he'll do the disability forms but then at the same time, as early as yesterday told me to get a second opinion on something I said but have forgotten.

I am a mess physically recently suffered a pulmonary embolism and he knows this. On the other hand he has dealt with me for six years and put up with a lot from me. I'm scared about having what he calls incomplete personalities not full blown alters. How do I fix this with him? Do your therapists say stuff like this to any of you?

it doesn't matter if he's talking to you, or one of your others, he should not be engageing in shouting matches with patients.

He should not be saying the kinds of things he's saying to you. it dosen't matter how long he's seen you, or how much you say he's put up with from you.

he's at work. this is his job. if he can't contain himself during your sessions to the point of telling you to leave, he shouldn't be doing this kind of work.
people with DID have "imcomplete personalities" along with more complete alters. sometimes

they're called "fragments" it's not odd. I have them too.

He shouldn't be doing things to upset you, or encourage further splitting.

Going on what you've said here, he's not good for you. He may not know what he's doing. A thing that some therapists don't want to admit.

You need someone with experience with trauma, and DID.

Not a knucklehead who argues with alters. nothing they say should faze him a bit. He should expect it.
