I'm working with an interning therapist who's almost done getting her license. Pros: cheap ($20/session out-of-pocket) and fresh out of school. Cons(?): she referred me to a higher level of care because she didn't want to accidentally f*ck up during EMDR. I have to learn a lot more about my system through learning about my Self parts first before I can go back. Got too dissociated and couldn't ground:^(

our therapist is not a specialist for DID (in fact, she’s not technically a full therapist yet), and she does try really hard to acknowledge the system and individual alters

Same here! It’s a bit of a pain, but appreciated. I do wish I could get referred to a DID specialist
