Star-
Sorry, I misspoke before, I didn't mean DID I did (no pun intended) mean like DD-NOS. When I was younger I had some but not all of the criteria for DID, but I have recovered some since then, with age, reasonably stable life experiences, and *years* of therapy. And I certainly don't mean to make light of experiences like those I know you've had, and I know they are awful. The ones I've had have been scary and upsetting, just fortunately far fewer than they used to be.Anyway my T has a (rather frustrating, from my point of view) policy of sorts where he refuses to talk in terms of diagnoses. For the insurance company, he always puts down "depression" - wouldn't you think they'd wonder about him as a therapist if his patient is continually depressed for 6 years?? He says maybe when we're all done we can talk about diagnoses and technical aspects about all our work together, but for now that's not too important. This makes me feel accepted (more than a diagnosis) and it's soothing but sometimes I still feel this cat's curiosity to open his files, even though I know there's no secrets in them ;)
Anyway, you're quite right, there's a push-me-pull-you in everyone. Otherwise the character wouldn't have meant anything to anyone, I suppose.
Thanks for posting,
