None of it is that unique. It may seem important to one at the time, but that does not make it unique as a theme or idea that gets played out daily by the thousands or millions of clients and therapists across the world.
2. What does one really write on here that one would not tell the therapist or that the therapist does not probably suspect? Sometimes I am nicer about that one I see on here than I am in real life to her, but I don't think her well being depends upon me and how I am towards her. They are doing a job and clients pay them to do that job. If the therapist is so enmeshed or insecure or nuts that they would get upset/angry/hurt over what some client wrote on an anonymous forum, then they need to get supervision, get better supervision, or get back into therapy themselves.

Stopdog, you definitely have a way with words! It's not that I tell her one thing (the woman has been trying to get me to open up to her for 3 weeks now) but post something different. I came on this site looking to see how other people get past the things they do (in an attempt to avoid going to therapy). Everything I read has made me feel better but also let me know I should go back.
