Some questions and statements over the years that havent been very helpful in both therapy and life.reagarding having MPD - D.I.D, i need to add not all of these comments have been made by therapists, some by support people, or in support groups , some by even pastors/ministers, a variety of people.
So whose here now?
Whats your story to an alter whose just come out.
Who have you switched to now?
Why did you just switch?
When did you switch?
Do you think we could deal with one alter today instead of the usual fifty five we seem to?
You need to tell me when you switch.
What do you mean you dont know what to talk about, why come to therapy at all then?
I dont care youre paying me if you want to sit and do nothing that your choice.
If you wont let me pray for you then i cant help you, youll be stuck in this moment forever.
You must have been drugged to be seeing such an event?
I dont believe in demons.
I dont think it was as bad as youve made it out to be.
If you dont fully integrate you might not be let into heaven.
If you dont integrate i cant help you, god wants us fully healed not fully broken for the rest of our lives.
How many of you are still evil in there.
Your system isnt anything like anything ive ever heard of or seen before, i dont know if thats a good thing.
Ive read a book and this is how they said i should proceed.
ive spoken to my supervisor and this is how i will now proceed. (usually disastrously)
I want to talk to the main gatekeeper, our response we dont have one, well until you find him im not proceeding.
I dont think that the boys in your system are real.
Male alters cant live in a female body
When you becoem a christian then youll become normal.
Theres no such thing as MPD we all know its false memories thats the problem so called personalities are planted in this.
and finally
is it fun being a multiple?

I think it's appalling that you've had to experience being asked all these questions. All by treaters? I feel lucky then, because this has not been my experience at all. Thanks for posting.
J I P,
OMG!!!!!!
If any or all of these have come from your T - dump him/her asap and find a competent care giver.
"When did you switch?" OMG! Like I would know that. And telling you that you won't get to heaven if you don't integrate? What's up with that? This person should be turned in for practicing while delusional.
At a loss for words...
All of these are so wrong to ask or say to a client.
Take care

i should add some of these werent by therapists some were by others in our life some by pastors (Not recently), some by support groups we have attended a variety of situations.
Pardon my asking, but did you bust open a can of whoop ass on the asshats who asked these questions? Because that is what they deserve!
I might have told you this before but I once had a therapist who gave me the backhanded compliment of "you're doing so much better. You were such a basket case when you first came to me."
I just said "EXCUSE ME???" But what I should have said is "well, what do you expect? I was raped, you asshole!"
These idiots don't even deserve to be allowed to talk, let alone counsel people.
Shows the ignorance in some people and lack of understanding big time!!
Terrible.
wow. Is it fun being a multiple???? oh my freaking ....
Well I would be upset with those questions and statements also!
Sheesh
I am sorry that you have had to deal with such ignorance and stupidity and plain old fashion shite. I am just blown away!
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry reading this list. What a great compilation! You go, girl! Let's educate the ignorant.
(nudge, nudge...another good one for the blog carnival sometime.)
Should have said, "you know that since I'm certifiably crazy, I can smack you and get away with it?"
Cuz they deserve a beat-down for stupid questions like that.
JIP,
I thought it was just me that came across ignorant, thoughtless, jerk offs. Sorry you've had to experience people taking the same liberties in speech as they do with me.
If I have one more person say,"I would rather talk to...." or was that bat of the eyelsash a switch?" I'm going to scream.
Missing In Sight
OMgosh! these are all the things I hear from everyone...well I have only told a few that I have did....may I follow your blog, please? we have not met many with DID on here....our Doc also wants us to tell when switching takes place...if he only knew how many heads are out in every session.....do you get this question: what are the others feeling inside...when we talk about....whatever?
Rainbow
course you can follow our blog, nice to meet you :)
This is the post I thought would be good for the blog carnival. But, so many others would also.
Thank you for sharing this! If people are nothing else, they sure are curious to the point of being obnoxious! Good job raising consciousness of those who don't understand.
JIP - Simply heartbreaking......
I see now that what I survived and how I survived it are two related yet different things. It’s taken me another 37 years after I wrote this piece to myself at age 20 (link below) to even begin to understand what my inner reality was and is truly like. Who knows how I've held onto this little paper all these years -- I think I sent it like a message in a bottle to my OLDER self so I could find it now and finally begin to understand it! How was I SUPPOSED to know that ‘fragmented’ wasn’t ‘ordinary’? I endured and survived the wisest way I could, as we all did. That's the "YAY!! for Linda" part! Well I say, "YAY!! for all of us, by golly, we're STILL HERE!!" (the writing is at: http://stopthestorm.wordpress.com/the-devils-child-my-childhood/my-adulthood-stories/1972-what-i-felt-like-at-20/ )
