Sheppard pratt tdu- is it ok?

[loveaddict]

i am previously diagnosed as borderline personality but my psychologist thinks i have DID. i don't have DID. but it doesn't matter what i say because they already have a pile of notes about my dissociation. so i'm trapped in this. i'm being pushed towards the trauma program at sheppard pratt and i'm happy to go. because nobody can help me. but i feel unsure of my issues.

i am also worried because i don't talk (lol literally "quiet" bpd) and i only talk during individual therapy otherwise i would stay silent for weeks. i am worried i will be forced to talk more in residential? i like to write on a piece of paper but i won't be able to do that.
also i have eating disorder problems but it is managed right now. but i am worried they won't believe me and force me to gain weight. i haven't purged in 2 weeks and i don't restrict anymore. i am ok.

is sheppard pratt ok?

I don’t know the program. But I sense your fear. Sometimes presupposing what people will and won’t do or what they think or not think just ramps up our fear and anxiety. Maybe start with, I know I do this or that, but am I willing to see what they have to offer to help me out of these struggles. Work with yourself on what you are willing to change or let go of or add to your skills so that you can go into confident that no matter what you will learn and heal and grow. Hugs to you in this trying time of not knowing.

I have not been there. I went to another place and I actually wrote a list of questions and talked with the administrator and she patiently listened to my questions and answered. Is that something you might be able to do to alleviate some of the fear? It is scary....I get it. Best wishes!

No matter where you seek out treatment, you will need to talk in order to get any benefit. This isn’t passive learning where you’re just lectured to and take notes. That’s not how trauma therapy works.
