People here are very supportive when posters write about their negative therapy experiences. I think things get contentious when other posters make generalizations about therapy as a profession or of therapists in general. Posts claiming all therapists gossip behind clients backs, aren't as intelligent as other people, or that clients are cultish just isn't very nice, in my opinion. It's the same with the medication debate. It's true that medications have adverse events and some people shouldn't take them. Still, there are other people who are helped immensely. Debate is great, but when the tone becomes judgemental then it's no longer a discussion and becomes an attack.
