Hey, gg. I'm glad you said so.
> But please don't discourage anyone from seeking the therapy process that best fits them.
I think this is the point in my post where I may have gone over the line from “sharing” to “discouraging”:
> I'm trying to suggest to them, and to anyone else who cares, that the theory of transference is baseless and distracting. My hope is that people will NOT agree to therapy in which it is seriously considered.
It seems *technically* civil to me, since it's a summary of my previous points and a statement of personal “hope”. But I could've put it less confrontationally: “I hope people will consider such criticisms before agreeing to therapy that's based on transference theory.”
That does sound better.
I'm pretty sure you don't mean that people should not make comments here that are critical – even strongly critical – of transference theory. I think people can seriously evaluate their therapeutic “best fit” better – especially when they haven't tried the therapy yet – by being aware of critical views.
But I appreciate your very gentle advice about my tone. :-) (Five years w/o a PBC!! LOL)
