I think their objections are that I get so entwined with other people's struggles that I diminish my own issues. My therapist calls it my "group therapy syndrome". It happens when I become sensitized to all the struggles in my therapy group and shut down because I believe I have nothing worth saying. I eventually had to drop out of group because I'd go home after each session and cry hysterically. It started to happen with PC. The two of them recommended I stop posting and reading. It's been about 2 months. I'm putting my toe back in the water. I'm looking to cure "group therapy syndrome".
Some groups I need to stay away from. Psychotherapy is my favorite group. I'll hang out here and see how I do.
