(((MdngtRain))),

I am so sorry that you have met with this kind of treatment. I have had a similar experience where the treatment was "all about getting me on a drug program". I did not fair well on drugs either and wanted to have "counseling" and what I know now as "trauma therapy" instead of saturating my brain with drugs.

You have not said where you are located either. I finally found a T that specializes in working with Trauma Patients and it has been very helpful to me. There is a "slowly growing awareness" that often treatment is more helpful than medications. However, there are still many treatment facilities that simply go with the strong belief and system of using medications to help patients and unfortunately the attitude can be negative to patients that do not want "drug treatment". It is not unusual for a "trauma victim" to be fearful of taking drugs too.

You need to keep researching your area to see if there are support groups and programs that this negative woman is aware of, it sounds as though she is only of the opinion where "drug treatment is the only real answer".
