I also (bizarrely?) feel sorry for the Ts that do specialise as they get little recognition within the community for their work. I persevered til I found a specialist T in London but it was a hard slog even to find one whilst being told by many psychoanalytic type T's that I didnt need a specialist and that any T can deal with trauma..

Not in my experience that's for sure.

I couldn't imagine having my work dismissed in such a way.. by the public is one thing, by one's peers is another.
