Sometimes, most of the time, I find pc to be a wonderful support group. It’s been much more helpful to me than professional input.... (in the uk

)
Do you feel that support groups, online or in “real” life have the potential to be supportive, caring, affirming, evolving, tolerant, creative, fair...all the things that professional help/support is supposed to be?
What other qualities do you like to find in a support group (or in a professional)?
What do you give to a support group?
Love to all
