They ARE professionals and all seem to remain very professional in their postings. And like with all things therapy, if you want a specific questions answered, you need to ask it specifically.

Thanks for this Farmergirl and for other posts. I see your point that general statements would not work for them (which is really what I was looking for). I was kind of looking for something like "Dear Client, You have taught me so much about myself or, you have opened my eyes to..., or words of similar meaning". Nothing that would be very specific to details or single anyone out. Just looking for kind words of how much they think of their clients. Do they think of their clients after hours? Are they annoyed to receive phone calls? Do many clients call in crisis? Just wondering what goes on across the other side of the desk (we don't hear about that stuff you know). Maybe the clients need to be more considerate of their T's "off" time? Just wondering about things like that.

Regarding some other messages on this thread: I cringe at the thought of having my post being read in someone's therapy session, just for the heck of it. I am writing to share with members of PC and get their input (not for entertainment). This is just how I feel. The exception I would make is, if someone has read something that causes a trigger reaction for them or, if the client believes a post has relevance to their own issues. I can see someone reading those in session. Just my personal viewpoint on this. Thanks for all of your feedback.
