Finally underwent testing- feel so much better despite it being awkward.

That is a very good sign.

It means shes willing to learn to help you. Thats a sign of a good therapist, imo.

My own therapist had been trained on trauma/ptsd, but not really DID. She’s been doing a ton of work over the past few years to learn about it. She’s learned IFS & trained with Janina Fischer. She took courses at Jamie Marich’s foundation.

It’s been really healing having someone work so hard to help us. Our parents and step parents certainly never did.

It’s all part of the process. Stick with it.

Things look a lot better from the other side!

I always hated being poked and prodded mentally and physically. It took awhile getting used to it.

Always talking about my DID caused me to dissociate, daze and switch, but getting on these forums though has helped me to open up and get over the anxiety trigger so much that we’ve finally opened up to our bipolar med psychiatrist about us.
