Caution  RE: Scared, Skeptical, and have no idea
Great topic!
My son too has been through several therapists who claimed to understand DID but really didn't and sadly it only deepened his trust issues. It stinks to have to explain one's story over and over and quite frankly be disbelieved and thought of as psychotic. I am beginning to believe that only a person with DID or a significant other who truly "gets it" should treat DID clients.
I have decided to take a new approach to therapy for my son. He needs help with the sadness and rage and post traumatic stress stuff. If a therapist can assist him with coping skills so that he can live a positive day to day life that would be great.
Perhaps one day DID will be viewed in a positive light. Perhaps a list can be compiled of good therapists so that those seeking help can feel confident that they are receiving the best therapeutic interventions.
One could hope!
