So, today in therapy, my therapist told me about diagnosis and how a diagnosis is just a label. She’s not denying that I have alters, but she doesn’t want me to focus on that right now. She wants me to focus on coping skills. She wants me to focus on getting better coping skills to keep myself safe. My question to her was, “how can I focus on making new coping skills when I’m dissociating all the time?” isn’t that maladaptive? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
