@justaguest...therapists are not supposed to judge or try to determine if you what you are saying is true or not. There job is to take what you say as your truth and help you heal from it. Why would you lie. If it is something that is bothering you, it is their role to help you. Don't worry about what they think. Honestly, I'm sure they are not thinking twice about the truth of what you are saying. They are only trying to find a way to get you to the other side. I had to reveal some crazy new insights from my inner family today. I was so embarrassed to reveal the name and image of my newly discovered alter. I felt truly like a whackadoodle. My T was nothing but accepting. He was like that is totally normal and I'm sure he did not doubt me at all. As crazy as I sound to myself these days, he never seems to doubt me and totally understands how hard it is for me to accept the craziness of it all. I guess what I am saying is not to worry about what your T thinks. As long as they are helping you to deal with it, that is all that matters. And don't be too ashamed to tell your T exactly what you are thinking and feeling. That is the only way they can fully help you. Next session, tell them you fear that they may not believe you. I bet you will be surprised and reassured by their answer.
