I come here (and other websites) purposely, rather than compulsively, when I want a distraction.

It has a way of allowing me to appreciate having a competent T. But I learn alot from here, particularly what it's like to work with different types of therapies, different ways people cope, the attitudes and behaviors outside of therapy that help people be who they want to be, change, overcome obstacles, or progress with life. And I am very interested in psychology and enjoy discussing this material, especially with those who insightful and have similar interests.

It seems this place has different things to offer different people. As in other areas in life, I keep the benefits and leave behind things that aren't helpful. I sought support in my first post and realized this wasn't a place where I will seek a certain type of support, but that doesn't mean it's not good for other things. We are the forum, so it is whatever we decide to make of it, a reflection of us.
