This is what I suffer from I went to a PTSD CBT therapist,she said I had a lifetime of trauma but I didn't have PTSD, she made out I wasn't suitable for CBT,told me I didn't have the criteria for PTSD.Made out cos I was seriously mentally ill only mental health services could help me.I told her she was labelling me and stigmatising me and to get lost and walked out without finishing the session.

She got the clinical director to ring me.he told me she is only trained in single event trauma PTSD and that mine was Complex PTSD from a lifetime of trauma and needed a different kind of therapy/counselling and he would look into getting me a therapist that knew how to help.She apparently isn't even a qualified psychologist she is trained on one model of PTSD to do CBT and taht's it and she has the cheek to tell me I don't have PTSD when she's not fully qualified in all aspects of it.So I said to the clinical director fine so long as I don't have to see her again cos she was so patronising and didn't believe me at first that I'd been abused and that my narc sister had tried to drive me to suicide and kill me,she said cos I'd been in psychosis that it may have just been paranoia on my part.That made me so angry and I was so insulted.Just cos she is a professional doesn't mean she gets it right all the time but the damage she causes when she gets it wrong like I was so hurt and I was traumatised enough already.I don't need to be treated like a liar on top of everything else!!!
