Trying to find a therapist

[Cyd]

Has anyone else struggled to find a therapist trained in trauma work?
Two I've found don't have any availability.

I've resorted to asking a friend who's a counsellor to help me look for one. Feel like I'm spinning out a bit and I can't start this first step...

Unfortunately T experience/training with CPTSD is limited because it is a relatively new,  but here's a thread with links that may help Cyd - http://cptsd.org/forum/index.php?topic=9072.0

Thank you, I'll take a look. It just made me feel quite panicked to be struggling so much to find someone. As if I'd made a decision to do something about this, and then there's another barrier.

I cam relate to that struggle, I myself am going through the same thing. I am meeting with a T for the first time in two weeks, hopefully it goes well! Best of luck to you on your journey
