I don't think that over-generalized statements made by anyone who appeared to have an axe to grind would have any credibility with me no matter what the state of my own therapy. I like hearing about any experience in therapy that people have, whether or not it matches with my own. I feel grateful that I haven't had some of the negative experiences that others have and I'm glad there are places, on this board or otherwise, where people can talk about them. But there is a world of difference between "this is my experience" and "this is the way it is." The first I want to read about and the second I don't.
