I'm sorry these types of threads are triggering for you, katlover. I agree with part of what you said: I think we should accept each other's views. However, I don't think we "should" stop talking about it. Maybe these threads, like the one I started, should have a trigger on it. I will do that in the future. But, this is the forum to discuss our therapy, and obviously, the topic of Ts caring or not caring, etc. is very important to a lot of us! If it's triggering, just like any thread, you don't have to read it. I think that anything within the rules of PC is all right to talk about.

So, I think we need to all do what you suggested--accept one another's views, and realize that therapy is different for each of us. Many of us have a problem with validation, myself included. But it's therapeutic to realize that just because we have different opinions, it doesn't mean I'm right and the other person isn't. It's not black or white. I think we all need another group hug.
