I married a little over a year ago and found out 2 months later my
wife was DID. For the first time in her 40 years of dealing with her
condition, "Moses" said it was all right for "Little Patty" to come
out to talk to me, to see how I would treat her and my wife, Tricia,
afterwards. We are currently mapping the system and beginning to look
for the proper therapist. Also writing our story to give to the
therapist to assist. Does anyone have any advice concerning choosing
a therapist? We are not insured and would be looking for therapy on a
sliding scale fee basis, but for financial reasons not with a
therapist who would want to prolong therapy any longer than necessary.
Being self-diagnosed and educated consumers of mental health services
we feel challenged in the strange environment this condition seems to
create. We have done a lot of the initial therapy work ourselves, but
will definately need professional help in the abreaction phase, etc.
Any advice from anyone in a similar situation would be appreciated.
Thanks
