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.

I agree with you. My opinions come from different sources and many years of researching this subject but I didn't really go into that beyond a few words-I apologize for being so vague. You are right-we should always be cautious to come to any conclusion from any one source whether it's this forum or something else. As I wrote, I am always worried that my own damaging experiences might be clouding what I say. I regret it if that's what happened here with what I wrote on this thread.
