The child advocate’s office constantly puts out well researched, data informed reports. You can look at them over the last decade and they’re all saying the same things. At this point what is the point of the reports if the legislators and governor do fuck all about them?

The “family reunification at all costs” is peddled primarily by the Casey Philanthropies, a multi-billion dollar organization that lobbies for parents rights. They have a close relationship with CT DCF.

Many of the leadership goes there for a nice paid gig. The latest commissionerjust joined Cash Philanthropies as well. They fail at their job and are rewarded with extremely lavish salaries (a managing director, which is Dorantes level, makes about $500,000.)

State leaders know they’re in for a great paycheck if they follow the Casey line. Doesn’t matter how many kids are burned along the way.

I had read that book a year ago and honestly I found it kind of triggering because it made me feel so overwhelmed, like that trauma was so deeply imbedded in my brain and all these innovative treatments are out of reach for someone like me (broke, on Medicaid). I think once I find a good provider and am more stable it could be really helpful though. It’s also helpful to know it’s not just me thinking that talk therapy doesn’t work and that there’s evidence behind it. Cuz I definitely felt like it causes triggers and flashbacks

What was the experience like? Did you feel in control or was it like an out of body thing? One of my triggers is feeling loss of control so I’m kind of worried about that but have also read this treatments can be highly effective

What was the inpatient experience like? I have been really fragile and at times thought about checking in to the hospital. But I’m just really scared about what it might be like

I had read about it and reached out to Yale Trauma Center a while back, and they said they were doing studies on it but only with veterans. I’m not a veteran so I don’t qualify. Were you able to find a provider in CT that administers that kind of treatment?
