But there is no selection bias involved when people assert this place is NOT representative of therapy, even though that claim is completely unsupportable? C'mon.
Forums like this are the ONLY way to see impacts of therapy. That's why therapists generally badmouth and avoid forums... they don't want to see what they are doing to people. They want to preserve the fantasy. And they don't want their clients seeing it either.
Also if the contention is that this place is dominated by people who respond strongly to therapy or who have deeper conflicts, then what better place to look to see the effects of therapy attachment/dependency than this place?
