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?

Because, here, you have a numerator, but not a denominator.
You have no idea how many people are in therapy who do NOT relate to this forum and are not present in these communities.
I would wager that far...far more people are in therapy than are represented here. Meaning that this is a very poor selection to use for defining anything whatsoever about therapy.
You are literally walking into a subculture and saying it defines the entire culture. That is just illogical.
