There are a lot of different people on these boards and we are each individual in how we use therapy. Some of us seem to get something out of the more relational aspects of therapy, myself included, and some of seem to find more benefit from the more solutions-focused therapies. Some of us just use therapy to vent.

I can't speak to all of the items you mention, but for me, I don't view my therapist as an interchangeable part that I can just pull out and replace with another. We have a relationship that's unique to me and him and it works for me. I suppose that touches on transference also.

What exactly about these topics and other's views here on the board do you find mind boggling and irritating?
