Being the meanie I am, this struck me as something of his I wanted to post here:

I would like therapy to come with a health warning:
WARNING : Therapy can be potentially harmful and can carry the following side effects:
* feeling emotionally destroyed
* being diagnosed with a scary-sounding personality/trauma disorder
* irrational feelings towards the therapist
* an extreme aversion to the phrase “I feel”
* temporal disorientation (ie hours seeming only to contain 50 minutes)
* no effect whatsoever

hilarious pachyderm, i literally laughed out loud! thanks so much for sharing.

I was very fortunate to find the BTC articles early on in my experience iwth therapy; above all books I've ever found, they taught me so much of what I really needed to know and I still go back and read in these archives from time to time ("humiliating the **** out of yourself in therapy" - what a title and so true).

BTC is very wise, and was / is a member of PC... haven't heard a peep for a long time but I so much wish I knew where to get in touch so I could express my gratitude for all the help I've been given.
