The first time my therapist talked to little daisy I was so angry with him...she talked back and cried but at the next session I asked him, "why did you DO that?!" His reply was because she was right there -- in the room with us -- "couldn't you feel her?" Of course I could, I didn't think he could!
We also talked about MPD vs. age states. He reassured me that this wasn't that. But if those ages don't talk now for awhile he will mention that he hasn't heard from little daisy and he wonders what she is hiding from.
Still makes me mad when he does that! I'm getting better at catching him though. Last week I couldn't get past the anxiety to talk and he said, "what does little daisy think about this anxiety?" My response was, "No fair asking her questions. I don't want to let her out." He said "darn" he'd have to get sneakier.
Keep us posted. I'm always interested to hear how other therapists are responding to these incidents.
