I think the posts you picked will spark discussion, which is what you want. But I agree that it is a limited representation of what goes on.
I would think of great interest to this audience might be the discussions of whether sites like Babble are a hinderence or help to a person's therapy. There was a recent thread on this as well as several occasions to write about the benefits of Babble over the past few years. I wrote a long post about why Babble is important that might be helpful. (Not to toot my own horn.) And I think there have been discussions about using email in therapy and phone calls to clients and gift giving and termination that all call out the view from the client side.
The other big thing that seems to have been overlooked are the guest experts who have joined us here. I think it adds interest and an element of credibility to Babble.
Mostly I think to limited handouts to that one thread gives the impression that we use this site in a superficial way, that it is about cliche client behavior or pathological dependency. You don't get a sense of the deep thought, pain or support shared here. Or the fun. The vacation club, camp comfort and a few other things leap to mind.
I know you don't have unlimited space. One of many frustrations...I so want to go.
