Well, I've had posts removed both for saying therapy sucks, and for saying that I think people bash therapy. (Over the course of months, I've had several changes of mind re: therapy, etc.)

So, if PsychCentral is anything, it's an equal opportunity censorship. You can't tell people that they're bashing therapy, and you can't bash therapy. It's a very fine linguistic line you must dance.

The trick is, to frame everything in terms of personal experience. If you say 'I found having sex with my therapist to be very helpful therapeutically, and I'm thinking of sneaking into his attic and living secretly above his bedroom', you'll be fine.

You can also say 'I think therapy is worthless and I go out of my way to treat my therapist in a way I wouldn't treat a dog. I like to be cold, derisive and dismissive. My therapist is useless in all possible ways, but it's nice to have someone to throw cash at once a week,' - that is also fine.

If you judge either of the comments above in a negative light, your post will be removed faster than you can say 'SSRIs are sometimes implicated in less than ideal outcomes'. Of course, you're always free to judge positively, because propping up the ideas of others is always a good idea, no matter what they are. That's called 'support'.

The rules according to Psych Central!
Thanks for this!
