I am intrigued by the idea that a psychotherapeutic milieu can be provided by Psycho-Babble. You would make a good facilitator. Does it make sense to establish a new board for this? I think the Social board functions as a much-needed haven from the intense focus on mental illness that comprise the other boards. It feels safe here. It's fun. I think we should keep it that way. I don't know. I think I like what you are trying here. However, it might be a bit intrusive and overpowering at first. If there were a separate "Group" board, the people who would go there would be very motivated to engage in facilitated therapeutic conversations.
