    Heya :). I'm a trainee counsellor with DID. It's such a normal thing to happen to the mind under circumstances where you have disorganised attachment and trauma that has no way of being processed at the time. I think a lot of it is treated as freaky or mystical - people, including professionals, dissociate from DID - it's a diagnosis that names an elephant in the room. So in a sense, I think it's up to clinicians to work on 'integrating' with the knowledge that unthinkable abuse happens that doesn't seem to make sense - because society covers up a lot and we all turn a blind eye sometimes - and also the brilliant and often unseen defences the mind has for surviving, just as much as it's the clients' task to slowly and gently get to understand and accept the reality of our lives. There are so few people who will sit with us as we are, in our full humanness. Just doing that is a real gift.

    Really enjoyed this podcast. Very down to earth explanation of how people who have become fragmented by dissassociation in childhood can heal as adults. I think the honeycomb metaphor is very helpful too. Beautifully and gently explained, bravo.

    Girl (33) who fell in love together with their (group)therapist (37) last year! Now, 1Y later we would have gotten married probably if we would't have been found out. Find it very unethical that I am not allowed to be in a relationship with whom I am in love with. Find it so sad for him that hé not only lost the love of his life, but also lost a part of his professional opportunities such a lading a group. Simply because we knew we loved each other, came as a surprise halfway through, no physical contact or speaking to each other for more than neccesary. I have always felt completely safe with him, and I am harsh on men that are nasty in any way. I was able to make him feel safe too❤️ Well, if anyone's curious, please hit me up because I'd love to proces this, since it feels terribly unjust as I am independent and feel as his equal.

    My therapist (M50) just hit on me (F30) . I'm so shaken because he was the only one I opened up in years. Now I regret that, I don't think that I can have therapy again. I'm feeling abused and manipulated. He's very well aware that I'm not able to set boundaries. I'm feeling betrayed. Did it happen because I have BPD and looked helpless to him? My friend is blaming me for not setting boundaries with him before. I bought a little pot of flowers for his birthday, also to thank him for delaying my payments (which I didn't ask for, he wanted to continue when I lost my job). it's so stupid that I got traumatized by my therapist 😢

    Makes me feel a bit emotional. Such a lovely conversation and everything so simply explained. I feel that that the great contribution that Eric Berne gave to the world and one which given his theory is so important ... was that model which everyone can understand which then means that we can communicate with each other on adult basis.

    I got compassion fatigue last year and became cynical towards myself. my own abilities at Uni and work. As someone with BPD. I can be very demanding sometimes and I'm aware that therapists need to know their limitations when working with individuals with personality disorders. I appreciate your honesty on this subject. 💜

    I am interested in how Bob would handle the situation where the client (me) was trying to receive help but also trying to look after the therapist. It doesn’t seem to work out well for me but how can you be your authentic self within the therapy room if that is what comes out naturally. If I’m acting like a (possibly sexually confused) child but have the intelligence and observational skills to know that is making them uncomfortable, what can I do? If i tell them they run away and if i don’t how can i be helped?

    I really enjoy this podcast and have listened to every episode, often several times over. Many many times, almost every episode, I have wished that Bob would be allowed to keep talking for longer than he's been allowed to talk. It always seems like he has more to say and I enjoy hearing everything he has to say. So do let him ramble on for longer...

    Nothing personal, but I think you're all mostly condemned because you allowed the psychiatry pill thingie to get out of control without any pushback. Makes it a tad difficult to believe you are any type of true physician of the self.

    I've got a question about that. I believe according to my experience as a therapist and from the limited amount of literature i read regarding to narcissistic people, they have a strong internal Critical Parent ego inside them and obviously no usage of Nurturing Parent. We are targeting Child Ego, but is it possible to work on the deficiency in Parent Ego; in due time of course? Also, one more, usually in close relationships they might long for someone to take on the nurturing parent role, is it OK for the terapist to take on the nurturing parent for a while until the trust is formed? Sorry for the long questions. Thank you.

    Speaking as a client, I could be in a child or parent ego state at the start of a session, depending on how I felt before the session or what might have happened before on that day. There are no guarantees that the client enters the therapy room in their adult ego state...
