Yeah, it does. [eta: er, sorry, I meant "yeah, I do", as a response to the question in the title.] PC is helpful because it puts me in my place and gives me some perspective, but the flip side is that I don't allow myself a respite from thinking about therapy.

I have learnt not to apply things I read on PC to my T relationship, and that really helps. I also actively stay away from threads that are destructive for me. Sometimes I relapse and then my therapy suffers from it, but on the whole I've got much better at knowing that what a random anonymous stranger on the Internet experiences has no bearing on what my T does or thinks.
