oh yes. i'm sorry, i probably should have thought to bring this thread to a mod's attention, i just didnt think about it. but it was my intent that this not just be a discussion between me & a mod, because i know other ppl have expressed a bit of confusion in other threads also, so i thought it would be a good place for us to discuss what the new subforum meant and for everyone to get the same information at the same time.
but in the future - will certainly send a pm with a link to one of the admin team!

Dead-on Deli. The attempt to separate is a literal putting of therapy issues into different categories, that's not how therpay works so why should it be like that here? I, too, feel a sense of judgment about romantic transference being treated as less appropriate with separation. I can see separating out some things like specific treatments for anxiety, the dynamics of different types of therapy, cbt, etc.
This is a community issue, not one for individuals and mods to work on privately. Like in group therapy, if it's about the group, the group works through it together.
