I'd like to add my .02. I don't post here very often.
I have to agree with what some of has been said. I guess it's because I see things a bit differently.....I'm not a "patient" of my T, I'm one of her "clients". I don't have an illness. Having worked in the medical/veterinary fields, the term "patient" has a whole different connotation to me. I know a lot about my T, and I'm fine with it. If I were to bump into her outside of the office, that would be OK. What works for me may not work for other people. I see my T as a fellow human being. that works for me. Your milage may vary.I guess what it boils down to is finding the right thing that works for us individually, and in finding the right T who will help us best address and move on from our concerns. That means different things to different people.
What I do have trouble with is the quickness in which dissenting opinions on this board are labled as "hurtful" or "causing someone to feel put down" when they are in fact just dissenting opinions. That is one of the factors that lead to my not posting here too often. My opinions can differ quite a lot from what I've seen on this board. Opinions are just that...opinions..however they are expressed. Sure, the OP could have chosen their words a bit more carefully, but there is some merit to the message.
The internet is an open, public forum, and things can get out of hand at times. The best choice to make under those circumstances is to walk away and take some time away for a bit.
