Maybe try a different therapy clinic that might not be with VA but offer help for you with trained therapist. I am very sorry you are not getting the help you truly deserve. I can also tell you that it's not selfish in getting help it's brave of you. Please know we are here for you. Hugs
@Cheryl27 Me too with the childhood & suffering. I'm glad you have a good T and are making progress! I appreciate your comments, it helps to hear that you don't think I'm being selfish. I was raised that I'm nothing and deserve nothing, so this whole thing is really hard for me. Asking for something when I'm fighting the idea that I'm nothing, I mean.
