He thinks it has the potential to be both good and bad. He thinks it's good for offering and receiving support and to feel less alone with some of the issues I struggle with, but he also sees the potential for posting threads that don't necessarily reflect the reality of certain situations, because even if we think we're being objective about our relationship with our T's, we can still only present our own version of events because our T's don't have the opportunity to agree or disagree with our interpretation. This is exactly what my therapist tells me. I think that sometimes we get in here say things about our therapists, then everyone has that "OMG! I can't believe he/she did or said that!"

And I don't know about anyone else here but when my emotions are running high I'm not the best judge of reality, so that's why you'll rarely see me posting anything when my T and I aren't exactly on the same page. I think that this is probably true about many of us. I find that I post and delete quite often! I am getting better about writing things out and then not submitting them. Just getting my frustration out and not putting it on anyone else in here.

I used to post about those issues several years ago at another site before I found this one, but I eventually learned to deal directly with my T and work it out with him when we had a rupture because I realized when I went back and read those old posts weeks or months later, my perception of events had been clouded by my past and I was surprised by my ability to distort things when I thought I had been presenting them accurately at the time.
