It's been about a decade since I spoke to a new therapist, and I know myself and my parts quite well. I have had a dissociative specialist on and off for... Not quite a decade, but close. I understand what caused my disorder and why it effects my daily life. But because everything feels very "normal" to me, I'm unsure how to approach the conversation with an unknown clinician. I suppose I could start with the worst of our disorder and how I lost years of my life, but things have changed since the inception of our diagnosis. We don't wander six miles from home anymore. We don't try to break into places we used to live. We've... Figured out a lot, and have agreements, amd many parts try to get along.

Still, I almost feel like I know "too much." Like we won't be taken seriously because we've had years of treatment. Because things are less hard than they were before I was diagnosed.

I don't know how much this will resonate with anyone else, but I really am terrified.

How do I start talking to a new therapist?

How often does an NPC refer to the player with the selected pronouns? I never paid much attention before because I just wasn't thinking about it, but now I'm a few hours in on a new He/She playthrough. I've only seen He/Him pronouns in reference to my farmer. Still, that happened exactly one (1) time.

Anyone have more insight on this? ☺️ How often does it come up?

EDIT: ??? I'm sorry. Idk what's happening or why this is so controversial. I am transgender and I was trying to ask a very neutral question. It's not that serious. It's just... A moment of curiosity about a mechanic in a game I like. Won't stop being trans, will continue to have questions. Thanks for the honest answers about actual game mechanics.
