even if integration is not going on in your therapy right now, i think the book does explain it quite well as it deals with each alters integration seperately - you can almost visualize it as you read it. If you do reach that point let me know what you think after reading it!

i guess when i saw mine it was over three decades ago - before the days of suing and lawsuits for everything - he worked with me by instinct mainly because again, these were presybil days, also - when you mentioned self-reliance, it was because of him that i was able to start college and go on with my life - i guess you could call that self-reliance - i went from almost total dependence at times to total almost independence - a therapist can't keep a client forever..there should be improvement.

i think we need instant messaging here...lol....eventually he does - once she is integrated - and the integration is extremely interesting in this case.....skip the hypnosis part - i;ll go back over the book soon and tell you where it picks up after that....

Some therapists have strict boundaries they will not cross & sometimes that can be good, however I think it should fit the client's needs as well. Availabilty for phone calls should be a given because there are going to be times when that is needed in crisis situations. More than a comforting hug as far as body/touching contact would scare me off I think, like I would not let a therapist hold me as that would be confusing but I think that is okay with other supportive people in your life to do.
