...See more i've just gotten into therapy... recently, within the past few months. i haven't been able to for my whole life up until late 2020 due to familial and financial boundaries, so while i'm experienced in my own mental health and doing my own research i'm significantly uninformed on the whole... therapy process. i'm 21, and i've been aware of my system since i was around 13 or 14, possibly even earlier. my memory is fuzzy since i'm a relatively new host so memories before "my time" so to speak are few and far between. but basically, i have my system very figured out besides a few handfuls of unidentified alters, and we have pretty decent communication and organization between each other. me and my therapist discussed starting trauma therapy starting next week, and since my DID is so important to a lot of aspects of my trauma, whether it have been used against me or otherwise i feel like it's important to bring it up and... besides that i honestly really want a diagnosis for it in general just to have that 'validation' i guess, haha. either way, i know that being known as a system to my therapist will help me significantly since a lot of us have our own problems that need addressing and, since our trauma is so compartmentalized it'll speed up the healing process too. in a way i'm afraid to tell her straight up that i'm already aware of having alters and having DID in case for some reason she tries brushing it off or reacts weirdly to it. i was referred to her for nonspecific "anxiety and depression" initially, and since then i've been explaining my other problems slowly but surely, so she's aware of my PTSD/trauma. my approach to most of my known problems is talking about my symptoms and acting like i don't already have some sort of idea and subtly implying things. which, i guess is making this process a lot slower for me but again! i'm very new to the therapy scene so i have no idea if there's a better way of approaching this. since we've been aware of being a system for so long, we of course have journals, identities/alters mapped out, etc. so i'm guessing a good start is compiling them somehow. i just have no real idea of how to start bringing it up or pushing for a diagnosis/pushing for that acknowledgement. any advice really, really helps!
