Thank you for your kind comment. You might want to contact the Office of the Ombudsman. This office helps when there are problems with the asylum system. Here is the website:

Thank you for the comment – I agree with you that many asylum seekers face “avoidance” issues where they try not to think about issues related to their trauma. For some clients, at least, the problem is not trauma, but either lack of understanding about what is needed or passivity/laziness. Although the cause of the problems are very different, as lawyers we need to help them overcome these problems so that they can present the best case possible.
