Thank you anyway.
I don't understand why they are having a hard time treating you since the focus of trauma therapy is on the client and the abuse experienced, not the mental illness their abuser had/has.

It would be and should be the same treatment used for anyone else with PTSD.I also grew up with abuse,extreme abuse,and although I did talk about my parents,whatever mental illnesses they had nothing to do with the type of treatment I received.

Can you explain why it supposedly matters concerning whether psychologists can help you or not?

BTW,my father had untreated,unmanaged PTSD,but that was probably the least of his problems.
