"Understanding how others do therapy" and "Seeing if my situation is within the norm" describe it perfectly for me. I never really posted threads about my own therapy much and prefer to tell it in response to others, as it relates to others' experiences. I think I also would not mind people telling me how I come across to them from my posts, if something I say sounds BS, defensive, off the mark, whatever. But "Understanding how others do therapy" is pretty much the main reason why I come here, and to share my experience and thoughts as a reflection. Also sometimes when I am feeling too hyper and just want a sort of dumping ground for what's on my mind - this I did in therapy/with therapists as well. As far as responses, I would welcome pretty much anything, but as I said I rarely post for responses here and usually I respond.

Support and advice mostly, and hugs. With old t I liked seeing if my situation was within the norm but with this t things seem to be okay so I haven't had to ask about that for a while.

Sometimes I need the support of the group to merely stay in the change-making process. There are a lot of reasons to quit therapy!
I sometimes post just to get my thoughts out there. Kind of a Dear Diary that talks back. |

I mostly wish for support, and advice. but sometimes I just need to vent, and I am allowed here.

It really depends on my mood. When I started visiting PC it was because there were things I questioned about my relationship with T. Now it is sometimes to vent, get other's perspective, and to normalize my experience about not only therapy but life struggles with anonymity.

I mostly use it to vent, but since I can't really convey the whole of what happens and I can get things wrong depending on my internal state, I risk having it taken the wrong way, so I don't share often for that reason. So mostly, support and venting space.

Advice. Not snarky or mean or belittling obviously and of course I may not take it, but advice gives me ideas and thoughts to ponder. I appreciate the people here who take the time to offer it.

I also am very thankful for all the friendships I have now, that I didn't have before I joined PC.
