an intervention.. they call it

Postby loise » Thu Sep 12, 2013 6:44 am

After months without a a word, I am again in contact with my psych. He suggested to make an intervention with another psychologist, a collega from him. So he would continue supporting me in the psych social issues: children, goverment, schools, etc and this other woman would start working with me with my DID issues. one side of me says, Great! because i see also the need of a third person. Sometimes he is sick or travels and i need a contact person. On the other hand, it has taken me three years to open myself to this theme within me, actually it was kind of a surprise to me. I thought that more or less people functioned this way. So my first issue, is trust. my second issue, is that i have heard a couple of times this voice coming out of me, when i am put into pressure, there is "this voice...person" that reacts upset...his voice, scares me, and it comes out, from within me (sorry for the grammar).
I am afraid that these interventions will let loose a side of me that i try to repress.
and then what happens when i come home (i have three teens).......
he says that the idea of this intervention is to contain!!! words! how can you contain memories, if you open a door, there will be a diarrea of memories...and i wonder if i can go through this.
but it is an opportunity to be helped. any experiences over what to expect?

All this sounds good.

A competent therapist with experience treating DID will know how to help you first establish safety, containment, grounding, etc., long before any trauma work, so that you can tolerate the work. So that you can remain functional in your life, at home and at work. The therapist will teach you skills to manage the memories and feelings that will come up, before stirring them up.

It is normal for the host (you) to feel afraid of the other alters, especially the angry ones. But anger is a valuable quality. You may be unable to believe this now, but the angry one is likely to become your best friend, strongest ally, and most valuable alter.
