about 4 or 5 months ago, when i was new to PC, i read all the posts of people idolizing their therapists, and wanting to see them all the time, and trusting their judgement over one's own,, and all the kinds of things people do who have been raked over and abused,,, and i wrote a post called "Not a Therapist Worshipper",, for which i was visciously attacked by dozens of people, and few who even acknowledged that such opinions as mine even had the right to exist. so,,, i have mixed feelings reading this thread, that somehow it was said in a way that was acceptable to the community,, that it is being discussed and validated, when i wasn't ... but it is still a good topic to be brought up for those new to therapy, it's a pitfall to watch out for,, a natural hazzard of the emotionally needy... thanks for talking about it ...
