Obviously none of us would be here if we didn't think it was a good forum, but what do you think about the affect of being apart of a mental health forum and do you think most doctors and therapists would approve and can you see why the wouldn't?

One possible motive for a T saying that could be that they fear that the forum threatens their job, i.e. you will get your needs met on the forum and won't need the T anymore.
A less selfish motive might be fear of you being triggered (by other members or their posts), i.e. the forum interfering with the T's treatment plan for you.
I haven't seen my T in a while, but I think I'd tell her about it. I don't think she would disapprove.
How long have you been going to your T ? How much do you trust her ?
