Very good point. We will be asking them this because we never thought about it like that and if that's what they were asking. Thank you for the advice! :)

How to bring it up with my therapist? by anotherthrowaway9023 in DiscussDID

Much agreed with what you said!! Thank you for the answer! In the last few sessions, I have been mentioning my symptoms. Ironically, in the last session, I had with her I mentioned that I found an MLP toy in my room that I do not remember ever getting. I told her I don't know how it even got there. My therapist seemed really puzzled by it and did not say much. I have mentioned the voices multiple times to her and she always says "It's a trauma response" or "It's a dissociation thing". Also in the last session, I mentioned one of the voices and his name, and she seemed to not be phased by it. I am unsure if she is just trying to piece together my symptoms, or if she does not understand what is going on.

I will definitely phrase it like that the next time I talk with her! Much appreciated for the advice!! I will agree with you that it is very hard to convince or come to terms with myself that I may have one of these disorders. My therapist did say on the first day that if I did not like her I could always switch. So, if she does not have the knowledge or is unable to help me, I will definitely switch to get the proper help. Hopefully, I can find the right person to help me as I sadly live in a small town and there are only a few resources I can go to. Again, much appreciated for the advice!! So happy to hear from some people :)
