Hello minefield,

I do understand your frustration with the system. I am glad you are on the waiting list for clinical psychology, you do sound like you need this. You do need to be stable enough to go into the traumas but the psychologist will give you good coping stratergies to do this. The crisis team are not trained to go into the deep, heavy stuff, only to step in where needed. I still think it's worth going to PALS as they need to know if a service is not providing what it should. Hang in there, hopefully that psychology appointment will come soon and then you will get the help you need.
