WARNING - Flashback coming!
I'm in day four of a CPTSD flashback after my "therapy" evaluation for an ESA letter. My father used to kill my pets when I was young. I have done so much work on myself and didn't know I could even have such an intense flashback but here I am in day four. It's horrible. Of course the "therapist" didn't ask about that! Flashbacks of animal cruelty sit like an assassin waiting to strike and this one didn't miss. Maybe there are kind therapists but mine was not and now continues to ask for more money. They have you over a barrel and only partially qualify you so they can then ask for more money to "verify" the letter they wrote in the first place. Most likely how the therapist tries to get more money out of you. Well, don't fall for that. Stay away, stay far away from Pettable.

I'm really sorry you had such a painful experience, Catherine. It sounds like this process triggered something incredibly difficult for you, and that’s not something anyone should have to go through especially when seeking support. Your feelings are completely valid, and I hope you have someone safe to turn to during this time. If there's anything that might help you feel more grounded, whether it's a trusted friend, a different therapist, or a calming activity, please consider reaching out. You deserve kindness and understanding.
