What your therapist said makes sense. But, the ultimate point is to get better - irrespective of therapy or not. The whole purpose of transference is to really understand the root of it - your hidden desires and wants in life which you are projecting. If babble helps you do the same, then isn't it more valuable than therapy itself? Because here, you get not only one persons view of it, but you get 10 people's perspective. Sometimes expecting one person to understand everything about us is really not right. You get more understanding from reading 10 people's perspective of it.
I know that ever since I started participating intensly in babble, I have had more insights thrown into myself, than I would have had even if I stuck with therapy everyday for 10 years.
Just my 2 cents. It does lesson transference, but it doesn't suppress it - in fact it helps you work through it more effectively, which is the purpose of going to therapy anyway.
For me, without babble, I would have completely collapsed and I wouldn't have had any suuport to deal with the intense issues I had with my ex T.
