So, to me, support here on PC is having authentic and real and natural conversations. We're traveling down similar paths being in therapy and it's an honor and a privilege for me to witness how others are experiencing their journey and also being able to receive others' wisdom and points of view.

So true. I feel honored to be a witness to the struggles and triumphs of my friends here on PC. The hugs when I've posted something I'm struggling with make me feel noticed and appreciated, almost as good as real life. The thank you's - wow what a feeling to think my words may have helped someone!

Support in therapy is felt by me simply by knowing that my T does not judge me nor condemn me nor detests me and is by my side no matter what

Again, so true. Support in therapy is felt in so many ways too numerous to list here. Simple things like answering my email or the warm, caring voice on the other end of the line when I used to call him in crisis. The way he can make me laugh; the fact that he has never shown anger or disgust despite six years of dealing with a raging borderline/bipolar too often in crisis. Never failing to celebrate victories, large or small.
Allowing healthy dependence but never encouraging overdepencence - making me stand on my own sometimes shaky legs no matter what state I'm in. That to me is support.
