Do you think this forum represents how "most" clients respond to therapy?

For example, so many people here report getting upset and having abandonment fears when their T goes on vacation. Or how about the strong dependency that many of us feel?

I was reading in one of my textbooks that provided an (bad) example of a T attempting to force a client to say she was upset that the T was going on vacation. In fact, the client had no feelings of those sorts and was not bothered by T's leaving. In other words, the T just expected that the client had abandonment fears. (T had her own issues)

That got me to thinking about the make-up of clients.... and if what is on the internet represents the majority of clients in therapy???
Thanks for this!
