>Hi Judy.
I hope you soon feel safe enough with your therapist to share these things with him/her. I think it would really move therapy along. I know it's a long slow process though. :) I so enjoy my trust with my therapist now, that I sometimes forget it took me five years to learn to trust him and I've had two years with him since then, with the trust deepening even further over time.
Is your therapist open to things like this? I think you said he/she was, but that your pdoc wasn't? I would have a LOT of trouble talking to someone who wasn't open to the idea. My therapist has always appeared rather neutral, but agreed to read "The Myth of Sanity" and said at that time that he understood and accepted the concepts of dissociated ego states, etc. So I felt more comfortable about it.
