Sorry if this isn't the place for it, I just really need help here

Hi, for some context; we recently got a new therapist and haven't really been direct about our DID. We've had some bad experiences in the past but really want to be open about it to this therapist as we know it can help with healing and dealing with our other issues.

The problem is; we were never officially diagnosed, and we live in an area where people will downplay these types of things and go "Oh you're probably just experiencing symptoms and not actually having *insert things here*"

So, I guess my question overall is; How do we bring it up to our therapist and psychiatrist and be prepared for any follow up questions?
