Now everything you write, you will write it in mind that ur t is the audience. I would hate that. I think you have a lot more transference issues than you realize at the moment.

If my therapist was reading here, it would be of great benefit to me because he would be getting to know me better. He already gives me a generous discount for the time we do spend together, so in my view, this would seem like an added bonus.

I do have mixed feelings about it though.

Why would I write anything with my T in mind just because she read stuff on here? That is quite a judgment on my person or issues, I have to say - as if I am writing here to tell her something! I am secure enough to tell her what I want in person. I have talked about this forum with my T, nothing I wrote before she read here was news to her and nothing I will write will be news either.
And how do you figure the transference part?

Hi Amelia - I'm not answering for Beatzen but wanted to mention that the concept is quite common. You've probably heard about the Hawthorne effect, which in reality, is not limited to only the workplace.

Hawthorne effect, a form of reactivity in which subjects modify an aspect of their behavior, in response to the fact that they know that they are being studied.

Observer effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For that to be true I would have to believe my T lied to me when she said she wouldn't spy on me. I don't believe she lied, so I have no reason to believe she is coming here regularly to see what I wrote. If I would not believe her, I would find another therapist. So effectively I am not being studied, and the Hawthorne effect therefore doesn't apply. And that's why I think this board and what I write has nothing to do with transference.
Thanks for explaining though :-)
