A therapist who has little understanding or skill in this area is going to be in way over their head and cause damage instead of healing.

How would you find someone with those types of credentials? Just finding one that is very well versed in trauma is like finding a needle in the haystack. Most list trauma as a specialty but once you get a couple sessions in you can tell they are clueless as to what you are talking about. But then some right off the bat you know they know what they are talking about and can help.
Therapy is very complicated, or complex.
How this topic got started was after watching a Kati Morton video about attachment to therapist. That would terrify me to get so attached to a therapist, as I have seen people do, that it caused a meltdown when sessions were over. I'm wondering if this is slowing my sessions down by having such strong boundaries with the T.
Thanks for the feedback.
