So I've only seen the new T for one visit, and we talked briefly about my delusions. However, I don't believe they're all delusions, there is a certain amount of my story which I believe to be true, and don't think I can be convinced otherwise. I'm not sure how she will react when I tell her this, but what if she keeps trying to convince me none of it was real? Do I find a new T then? Do I quietly disagree while pretending to agree? I don't know what to expect out of this. Nobody I have talked to actually believe the story, which is why I'm anticipating the same.

EDIT: I think I am going to just assert what I know to be true, and tell her there is no way she can convince me otherwise, and just ask for help on how to deal with that reality.

If you feel some of it is real but know some is delusional tell her which parts you feel are real and what you think are delusions. She should be working with you to learn how to cope with what you feel is real no mater if she agrees. If not tell her that's what you need.

I think you need to be honest, pretending to go along is just going to backfire in the long run. You believe what you believe.

If your therapist is any good they will have a firm starting place to start from.

I agree with Mike. I also have things that my T does not think are true... but I know my truth. He just sees it may be a different way than what I see. We are honest about those things. But it is important for the therapy that we both know where each other stands on the issues.

I think this is a good plan.
