What's your experience with work coaches?

I haven't had a huge amount of experience with work coaches because I have had high rate PIP and previously DLA for a long time but when I have had to go in and see them it's been an utterly terrifying experience. I've been humiliated and asked really intimate questions in a packed public environment where I haven't felt comfortable to answer like why I have a PTSD diagnosis. The abuse of power has been tremendous and I have panic attacks just trying to call the DWP now.
