Feeling like I am being kicked around like a football ... again!

AppleblossomSenior Contributor

Feeling like I am being kicked around like a football ... again!

I have just received a call from a professional who is being paid to represent my interests. I have been trying to get all of my records for 25 years and patiently put in requests here and there and under advice ... I havent lost my temper yet at these people, but to receive more equivocating BS.

I am very distressed at being put off again and given the run around by people who are being paid to look out for me .... a football between Victoria and NSW ... its a big ground I am being kicked all over...

Re: Feeling like I am being kicked around like a football ... again!

going through the same thing, I"m only here so I can find out who the hell I complain to about the poor treatment. 3 months later I still can't find advocacy. I'm completely beaten by this. The last straw was running out of my 10 sessions. I have to wait until april to get a new psych or any sort of therapy.

@Appleblossom tearing up is good - let it flow out of you. Hopefully the link you found will be what you are looking for.

It is 80 pages for practitioners encouraging trauma informed approached for complex PTSD

it is the forefront of what is needed ... but the needs everywhere are so great.

I have cPTSD too. This last psychologist I saw was a trauma recovery worker (amongst other things). The work she did with me really helped. They are great with helping to find other resources too. There are also trauma counsellors at some of the places like Cathlicare and Anglicare.
