Today in T, I realized that all of these months have gone by with T "knowing" that I have parts, and me "knowing" that I have parts and neither of us telling the other person what we know. I think T was scared of scaring me, and I was scared to admit what was really going on with me.
Today he said "Hang on to how great this is - we admitted you have parts and neither of us ran screaming from the room"  Admitting it out loud has totally changed the direction of therapy. I did ask him if he's ever worked with ANYONE with DID before, and he said he had. It sounded like ONE person, though ?!?! Oh well, I love him and he loves me and it will be okay, I hope... I told him I have a fear of him switching to only doing couples therapy and not working with me anymore...but then I said, "I guess I qualify for couples therapy"...and he said "more like GROUP therapy" lol It feels good to laugh with T about things that are scary. I think he was trying to send me off into the weekend spiral-free. I would LOVE a spiral-free weekend. LOVE IT. I'm off to big son's baseball practice, but I'll be back later to read and respond to all the threads from my PC friends...

I don't view that as an odd moment but a very wonderful moment!
Group hugs all round!

I LOVE that he said this. Yes, you will be okay, because you have a wonderful T. In fact, you are okay right now. Only some parts don't know it. It sounds like we both had decent sessions today. WOOO HOOO!!!!

I did get into a mini-spiral, believe it or not... but I left a message with T, and he will leave one back, and all will be well.
Here's to spiral-free weekends for ALL of us! We can spend the weekend playing with smilies, or making new lists of rules for our therapists,or.....something that makes us

(((((((((((((MB)))))))))))))))) I'm so happy you were able to come to this point with T. You're such an inspiration for those of us trying to find our voice in session. What a difference a few days can make. You went from panicing you weren't going to see T this week, to three sessions and complete validation of your experience. Keep up the work and no spiriling you hear!

"qualify for group therapy" lol lol =) I still haven't talked with T about utilizing that "family dynamic therapy" (that someone in here posted about once) with my system. Trouble is I keep forgetting about it (and everything else) within a 10 mile radius of T's office. :P
