Private therapy would be an option but unsure of where to start. Tried it before and got ghosted ie didn’t ever hear back despite multiple phone calls and messages left with her husband. It was weird, had a couple of sessions with her and then she just disappeared off the face of the earth (not unlike last therapist). Could ask support worker to refer me to the other counselling service in town, but they aren’t specifically for trauma stuff so don’t know if they’d just say that rasac would be the best place anyway.
Have decided to try and do some of the stuff autism service amd OT would teach me on my own with partners help. I already have a lot of coping mechanisms for sensory issues (particularly noise) but because its summer its worse - the heat and lawnmowers being particularly likely to trigger sensory issues. Another thing I’m finding hard to cope with is the amount of men going about with their tops off, its extremely triggering amd is what is contributing to the nightmares, ex therapist knew this but still decided to leave in the middle of our sessioms.
Am seeing a benefits advisor at my local one stop shop tomorrow at 5, so hopefully she’ll be able to help with the job centre stuff. Partner floated the idea of making a complaint against the person I see at the job centre because he’s overly aggressive and doesn’t listen to me when I explain things so will see what benefits advisor says about that too.
