    Thank you for your reply. My therapist does use containment and of course I can call her if I need to. I do, however, think alot and read alot. I have decided to limit that - at my T's request. I think part of the reason I think so much about it is to make it more real to me. I'm not DID but apparently I dissociated most of my childhood and part of me does not want to accept that the traumas I did remember where so bad or affected me so much because there is always someone who had it worse. I will even dissociate during therapy. I flucuate between feeling like WOW I WAS ABUSED and oh, it wasn't as bad as some had it. And I have remembered things in therapy that leave more questions marks in my mind.

    I feel like I just want to hurry up and feel better so I can deal better with everyday stressors more effectively.
