UGH! I can understand why you are so upset when a T. who claims to have expertise in your issue blurts out an inappropriate statement like this. I can see how you would lose confidence with her and think your time and money and efforts have been lost. You might think from the T's statement that there may be no solution to your issue when, in fact, the REAL issue is that you are with a T who does not appear to have enough experience. It takes a while to find the right therapist. Keep looking.

Oh no no.. first of all she didn't claim to have expertise in my particular problem. I was the one who looked up her dissertation and saw what it was on. She didn't make claims. She's helped other people with PTSD and sexual trauma (and does claim to have expertise in that) but I asked her if she ever helped someone with a problem just like mine and she said no. It's a lot like other avoidance/re-experiencing in PTSD though so she should be able to treat under that framework. I just wish she had specific experience in MY subtype of this problem and she doesn't have it.
I can't look for another T. It took me so long to trust her enough to tell her this. And she's been great so far. It's just I am so worried I am irreparably damaged..,
