There are so many kinds of therapies (and therapists) (and patients/clients). Ignorance or unfamiliarity is a given. I have learned so much by reading. I may not be able to understand or appreciate another's therapy in general, but may find some aspects of it I can relate to.
I also have learned to distance myself from the site sometimes when I feel like my own therapy is being affected because I start wanting my therapy to be just like someone else's therapy. I can start to become dissatisfied with my own therapy, when I am in fact very happy with my therapy.
I agree 100%, Echoes!
