Could I use a therapist statement about mental suffering in accident claim ..

If they were no longer my therapist?

I really need a new therapist ..someone who has extensive training in PTSD. I was in an accident and need a statement from them however to support my emotional damages claim. She seemed pretty hesitant to commit to making a statement for me a few months ago but I'm going to request one officially soon.

If she does provide support that I get anxious with people stopping behind me in a car abruptly, can I use it , regardless if I switch therapist? My claim may not go forward for another month or so because I'll be in a few more weeks treatment. But I'm not sure I can stay with her that much longer. I need true healing techniques.
Is it a possibility I can have her claim, if she writes it, even if I begin with a different therapist during the claim?

Absolutely you can.

@Musicman Thank you. Now I just hope they agree to helping support me. They seemed hesitant to provide it a couple months ago and changed the subject. But I'm going to explain it doesn't have to prove PTSD, just to show my life did change after the accident, during driving, becoming very hypervgilant when someone stops behind me.

@Musicman I'm wondering to ask for it now, Even though I'm not doing claim for a few more weeks. Or to wait until that time. But by then I hope to be with another therapist. So as long as I can go back as a non client to ask for it??
