If the forums were separated and I posted in therapy trauma forum (which actually they did have their own group at one point), I probably wouldn't have been encouraged to try therapy again which is the very thing that helped heal me. Maybe that's one of the reasons I can understand both sides?

ScarletPimpernel,
I love your logical reasoning here. I agree with you. I don't think the forums should be separate. The other part is that opinions matter. The more feedback we can get from a thread, the more helpful it will be for ourselves and others. The amount of people who see the Psychotherapy section is quite large, if we made a smaller sub-section for people who have experienced abuse within therapy, that number would dwindle quite considerably and as a result, we may not get the support we need.
I agree with your logic and I think there should NOT be a mandatory subsection for therapy abuse. I believe it should be in the same thread, however, if someone wants to make a subsection thread, it is their choice.
Thanks,
