Finding a good T is a huge task from the get go. Most claim to have some training in either trauma and /or PTSD, but not specifically CPTSD. In fact I have gotten the dear in the headlights look when I have mentioned it to some T's. One, who was the best, borrowed my Pete Walker book just to get a better understanding of it. Sadly I had to stop seeing her because lack of insurance.
So since most have some idea about PTSD, they zero in on this one trauma and work only on that, or at least that's been my experience. So I don't feel like the T has a "big picture" view of what I dealing with. It's so frustrating especially since it's so hard for me to talk to a T, the dissociation during the session and leaving there in such a mental fog I go home and go to sleep.
Anyone else relate to this in some way?
