Well, it may not be the robust leg it once was. But I find that if I do need Babble, I do get support - if not as quickly as I once did. I hope you have the same experience if you need it.
I was talking about this with my therapist today. There definitely is no longer an influx of new blood here, and I think the veteran posters may have mostly reached more comfortable phases of therapy. I know it's hard for me to think of something to say when it's mostly good. I don't know what my therapist is doing differently (and neither does he) but he hasn't fallen asleep since I returned, and rarely even seems sleepy. My need is less intense, and the relationship isn't particularly angst filled. My viewpoint has shifted over time, until I'm not even sure if I share the same experience of other long time clients. I'm not sure if my experiences are still helpful to others.
I'd like to think there's something we could do. Maybe a question of the day (or couple of days)? Things that have worked or not worked? I know critical mass is a problem. Even if someone happens by Psychology Babble in these days of far lower google rankings, if they don't see much activity they are likely to keep going. Responses aren't a problem, I think, so much as initial posts.
Any ideas?
