I look at PC as a come and go fish tank ... Like a giant board room where people with a common thread connect , learn , recognize and teach themselves and each other how therapy works... The question I had when this whole process started , no book or pod cast or article could even give me a true idea ... But by reading these boards I was able to see how is WASN'T supposed to be and got a better idea of what is "typical" amoung like minded people. The boards support me when I need it and allow me to share what I am learning on my journey to those who are just starting out, they also help me to grow in my own journey as a sounding board of sanity, people in RL may understand but you really dont "know" until you have bought that T shirt!
Side note I can't help thinking about the sea turtle in Finding Nemo floating on the Atlantic current... We are all on the same ride!
