I'm so happy to hear it! I've read a number of times, as I'm sure you have too, that disorders on the dissociative spectrum have an excellent prognosis, PROVIDED that you see a therapist who can recognize that you have it, and has the special skills required to treat it. It's easier to treat that BPD. This has finally happened to me, after a number of failed efforts- what a blessing and a relief it has been that someone finally understands- and that I can begin to understand and start the task of integrating myself better, while grieving the horrible things that happened to me, instead of remembering and forgetting over and over. It sounds like someone is finally thinking about you with intelligence and understanding. I am hoping so much to hear that you find the right therapist.
PS Remember, a few months ago, that I told you I didn't think you had BPD? You just sounded too healthy and high-functioning, but with sudden lost episodes- and a suspiciously bad history which sometimes seemed real to you, and sometimes just sort of disappeared from your mind. It just sort of takes one to know one, perhaps!
