I'm in favor of the live and let live attitude. Some people had crap experiences and need to share. Some people had great experiences and need to share. I've had both, but my current one is great. I find the defensiveness around therapists kind of confusing, as I don't see how someone else describing their bad experience and perhaps even over generalizing has anything at all to do with my own therapy, or that of anyone else.

When people have had traumatic experiences, it runs really deep. I think it's understandable some people might need to talk about it, and I feel like giving people who have suffered a lot of space around that suffering is a compassionate thing to do, even if I don't relate to every element of that experience.
