I don't see anyone ever objecting to people sharing their bad experience with therapist/pdoc. I consistently support people who are in bad situations. It doesn't effect my own therapy whatsoever but I do get upset on behalf of people ( especially I am mortified reading about ongoing sexual abuse of clients). Once again I might be reading on different threads but I have never seen anyone objecting to others sharing bad session or bad therapist. We have people on this forum who are really struggling, I am yet to see anyone having problem with this.

As about posters making generalizations, of course they are entitled to it. Same way others are entitled to reply with "it's generalization". No need to be upset or argumentative at all. I don't see it as anyone being threatened.

I am not threatened if someone says "all/most (insert a group of people I am not part of) are morons" but it is not going to make it less of a generalization. It is inevitable on any forum or in real world when someone makes generalizations, someone else would say "that's a generalization or stereotyping". No one would disagree with somebody's personal experiences though as we weren't there and they are personal .
