Lon_gone, I certainly agree with you that not each and every technique a therapist uses needs to be revealed to the client. My response to the original post speaks to my therapy only. I learned long ago, on forums “, thanks to moderators, to speak of my personal experiencesas only, or at least as much as possible.
For some folks, including some PC members, they appreciate knowing each and every technique, aggressive or not, that a therapist attempts to use on them. Different strokes for different folks. I was just sharing my experiences.
