> I don't understand why a therapist would drop a bombshell like this on you and then tell you they are going away for a month. Is she a therapist you've seen before or was she just someone who administered your psych testing? I think it was wrong of her to leave you hanging, full of questions, and needing support. I was in the hospital when I was diagnosed with MPD/DID.

Hi Craig,
Yes, I had two appointments with her and it was on the last one she told me she was going away.
I can't describe how I felt, disappointed, afraid and mostly lonely, yet again. This seems to be the story of my life!
She did all the analysis on me, diagnosed me and when she comes back she wants me to go straight into group therapy which I find a little frighening as I would like to have one on one therapy to understand what I am going through and then consider groups. I'm not much of a "group" person anyway, I prefer to open up to one person as I feel it is more confidential that way.
I am feeling pretty confused once again and it doesn't feel nice at all, but, I am a survivor just like all of us and I shall just have to manage the best I can with this.
I went into a really good website, actually, Shellie mentioned it as well but if I could grasp what they were saying, it would help a lot!
I'll try to read it again later when & if I feel clearer.
Thanks for your concern Craig, it helps alot...........Kerry
