Possibly, each of us thinks that our identity is transparent-- we know who we are, so we think, somehow, that other people do, too. But if you leave out clearly identifying facts, and try not to quote too directly, you probably are safe from being connected to what you write here. Our problems are unique, in one respect, and very universal, in another (which is one reason why we can help one another). So probably no one will know that your posts are by you.
I may recall that you said your told your T that you post here. That does raise a complication, if he really knows the site, and realizes that there's a psychology board as well as the main med board. All you can really do is ask him to respect your privacy in not reading anything here. I would hope and expect that he could be trusted if he agrees not to.
If you feel that this isn't possible and you do need a more protected environment, there are other somewhat similar psych boards online that people here can suggest where you could go. I hope you can work it out with him to stay here, though, since you feel comfortable here.

Hi Ang2,
Have you told people that you post on babble? My husband and my T know. Husband wouldn't remember my screen name if he saw it and T promises to never look and I believe her.

I never mention babble to my t, but he could figure out it was me due to the numbers in my id. I first came to babble when I "terminated" therapy with him, I said some mean things about him, that i said to him. Those comments were displaced anger, and we have talked about that. He was great in the whole process, and even took me back. I know he was sad to see me go, but glad I wanted to work on my issues again with him.
Anyway, at first I was really concerned that he might come on here, but then realized I say things on here that I would say to him. Maybe I will mention babble in our next session because i would like to know if he knows about it.. Anyway, I don't think my t comes on this site, he has a lot going on and it was me being paranoid.

Thanks Everyone. Today was a weird day and I'm glad I feel better now. I wanted to write something here but just felt like I couldn't be specific. It feels good to say *something* here. Even if it makes no sense at the time! I can't remember if I told my t about this place, lol. I'll have to ask her when I see her. Tho, then she would know. haha. I was more worried about what if someone from my t group comes here and recognizes what I put (because thats what I was gonna write about). I dunno. Thanks for responses everyone.

I'll bet you don't have to worry about the possibility of anyone you know coming here. I honestly don't think t's spend their time online here wondering what everyone is saying about their therapy. I think they have their own lives.
