Thank you for your wonderful comment. I’m the author of the piece you are speaking about, Shirley.

I realize how hard it can be to find a trauma-informed therapist when you live in a rural area. I too live in one, among the corn and bean fields of Illinois. I live halfway down the state (and it is a long one) from Chicago. So much of our money in Illinois filters up to Chicago that we hear in the middle and lower sections of the state don’t receive enough funding for mental health. The result is thousands of people who need trauma-informed care struggling to meet our needs. Going to a VA clinic is a great idea. I hadn’t thought of that before. But, as you said, you must find one that accepts non-Veterans and that is equally as tough in a rural area.

Chin up though! Through voices like yours, mine and the CPTSD Foundation we are going to change the lack of parity in trauma-informed mental health care! We just need to keep fighting and help the people in the United States see that an ounce of prevention truly does beat an ounce of cure in terms of cost and impacted lives.

In the meantime, we will support each other! Keep reading and look into the services Athena (the President of CPTSD Foundation) offers. She has a YouTube talk every week that is free. You can check that out first and see if you like it. She answers questions from attendees and they encourage each other.

Thank you, again, for reading my work. It makes me feel wonderful that I have touched a life! Shirley
