Dear Jay, I looked at my post in that thread, and realized I did word it more strongly than I would normally do. I'm sorry if you felt personally attacked. I did not mean to call *you* wrong, but to call a couple of your ideas wrong. Which I think is perfectly acceptable here under the terms of the site.
One of the reasons I put my disagreement so strongly was that I got the impression you were trying to suggest that your ideas were more right because of your professional credentials. That just makes me feel I have to argue harder when I disagree. The other reason I was so blunt is that I think the information you're giving might harm clients who are reading it by interfering with their therapy, or even making them afraid to seek therapy.
Then when I read what you posted here on Admin, it almost sounds like you're saying people should not argue with you because after all you're a professional. You must realize this isn't the kind of site where people accept the word of 'experts' and don't debate. Presenting yourself as an 'expert' is probably likely to get you more vociferous objection.
