I often find this forum very stimulating as well in a similar way therapy was for me. Just much better because it’s not only one person but many and not as distracting/addictive I think a big part of the reason this is not as distracting is because it is not forced into a specific structure and time windows and because this does not have the complex interpersonal dynamic therapy involves (or only very lightly), mostly just discussion. Minimal challenge, no risk, no threats. My therapy remained on the same level mostly and if I were to go to therapy again, I would definitely push the Ts and myself much more.
