Crimson, what you're saying makes perfect sense from the perspective of an individual case. I agree there's no question some have been harmed by therapy.

But Hellion says she's drawing a conclusion about therapy experiences in general based upon PC threads, and I would caution that this is not a representative population. Independent surveys, compilations of complaints, etc, puts the incidence of therapy experiences that are sufficiently problematic to take action at 5-10%. Even if we double that stat to have a margin to include those who were very unhappy about their experience, but didn't take any action about it, that leaves 80% not unsatisfied. This board is not a random sampling, so caution about general conclusions from reading threads is I think reasonable.
