I talked to my therapist about this, and he appears not to understand *at all* how a therapist who doesn't believe in it explains what they're seeing. I think I understand that point a bit better than he does, but then I think I read more about it than he does. lol.
If I understand his history correctly, he worked with a number of people with multiple personality disorder back when it was called multiple personality disorder. :) And he is clear that my presentation isn't the same as theirs, but somewhere less on the continuum.
Fortunately, I think he's given up on the idea of integration. Neither part of me liked that idea *at all*.
So we've worked out a compromise. The emotional side of me attends therapy almost all the time. After all, rational me has no need of therapy. :)
