> May I ask how long you have been working with your therapist? You sound so advanced and I am so appreciative of the time you take to share your insights with me.
About 3 years. Honestly, I've lost track of the time. It might be closer to 4. (I remember early on thinking I could beat whatever I needed to beat in a month, but certainly no more than 3 months. HA!)
I don't feel so advanced. :-) Most of the time I still am quite in denial, but that's starting to slip away a bit. But I attribute where I am at today with a very gentle and patient therapist. In addition to that, I have benefitted from several online forums for mutual support specifically dealing with abuse or DID. I still struggle knowing that my therapist cannot be available all the time or always my first choice when I need someone to call on. That's when my support groups have been so helpful. It always helps to talk to someone who's been there before you.
