I am a little confused by this statement. I've been lurking on this board for years, and it has never seemed to me that people are here to generally talk about the positives of psychotherapy. Even now on the board there are plenty of threads about very painful situations people are experiencing with their therapists. To me, the great thing about the psychotherapy board is in the vast breadth of people's experiences (which range from amazingly positive to disturbingly negative), and another great aspect is the support that so many people give and get in dealing with the negatives of psychotherapy.

I would hope that this board will continue to be a place where people will feel free to to get that kind of support, and that people can still feel welcomed even if their experience hasn't been that it has helped them more than anything. I speak as someone who has had a mix of positive and negative experiences and who loves my current therapist - I'd hate to think about someone like me coming for support during difficult times and finding no welcome.
