I went to see my pdoc today and he asked me how things were going. I have DID and I told him that one of my parts was doing some some things that I don't like. (I can't say what those things are, I couldn't even tell him) So he guessed what it was I was talking about, well the general area.

Then he said that this is something we could talk about, but I don't think it is something I can talk about. I deffinately don't think I am ready and the topic, even the word itself, bothers me. So I don't know what to do.

it sounds as if your Pdoc is only concerned about you and trying to help. can you tell him that you aren't ready to discuss this topic?

another thought would be to write about your issues and perhaps let him read it after your next session. that way, he would understand, more fully, how you're feeling.

i used to do that in group when someone said they couldn't discuss a certain topic. i would ask them to write it down for me and i would read it after the group was over. then i was prepared the next day, if they did decide to bring it up.

good luck, pat

I think that is a catch-phrase for clinicians? When you come across something that needs to be discussed, but it really isn't time right now to do so??? If he brings it up next session, say yeah, that's on a list to talk about later. (emphasizing later.)

I'm glad he didn't diss you about DID...there are many doctors who won't address it at all! TC

im not sure that i can help. but one thing that helped me is to determine that i would push myself a little each session. I'd determine what that litlte was. So that if my T pushed, i had something to give that i felt comfortable with. Then I could say..that I knew i was pushing myself a little each time, but it was within my comfort zone. Hope things went well.

Thank you everyone who replied. I'm gonna try to talk to him and tell him that I'm not ready to talk about it. I don't really want to talk to hiim about it anyway, maybe my therapist but not him. Thanks again for all of your advice.
