I used to get a lot of responses to my posts; people saying they were really interested in hearing about my sessions with my T, offering comments, etc.

I have notice that with my last couple posts, the responses have depleted with the exception of a couple members that I speak to regularly.

I have also noticed that this depletion comes along with the more... let's just say... "spicy" and intimate content and comments that have come up in my sessions.

I am wondering if that is bothersome to people. Just seems strange.

Not bothersome to me. I love reading your posts. I just don't always respond. I figure I'm too new for people to care if I respond or not.

I'm kind of new here too maybe not that new but don't often come here or post here. I've read some of your stuff and I think it's great progress you are making. Freud as we know states that not only was it common for the "analysand" (patient) to fall in love with analyst (therapist) it was unavoidable.

As well, an analyst cannot possibly remain a detached observer forever.

I think the "love" goes both ways in your case. He is obviously very fond of you, in addition to wanting to help you therapeutically. Ask him! I dare ya ;-)

Pink, I think it's just random. I enjoy reading your posts but don't always respond to each one (and for me this is not related to intimate content). For myself, I notice when I start a topic, sometimes it gets a lot of responses, but other times not. It is hard to know what will interest people or strike enough of a chord that they will want to respond. I hope you will keep posting! I am reading even if not always responding.

Cool, thanks. It's not so much the amount of posts as it is that in the past I have gotten some negative comments about my sessions-- and I was just wondering if the content was upsetting to anyone.

Pink.. Keep posting! I'm living vicariously through your "spicy" therapy. Sorry if the erotic transference thing turned posters off. Especially since I asked you to expand your point. I thought the points exchanged were good, and humorous at times.

I'm sure some people may get upset but they probably don't read your posts then. I think all us readers and some-time responders are still with you. You did get to posting about your depression and less often I thought and there wasn't anything "fun" to either identify with or respond to?

pink, I always read your posts but the ones about your T I never reply to. Simply put, I can't relate to them and have nothing relevant to add. But I do read them and I can handle content far spicier than this.

I don't respond much either unless it involves my circumstances. I do enjoy reading your posts. You sound like your a lot of fun. Keep posting because you want to and there are people that want to read your posts.

hey pinky,

i certainly do enjoy reading your posts. as you probably can see, i really dont reply to many, in fact, i dont post all that much here, it has to do with my fear of rejection, my fear of saying the wrong thing....so yeah, just letting ya know how much i love reading your posts =]

Pinksoil! I love reading your posts!

I imagine it's just the crazed holiday season that's keeping people offline. I know I should be out shopping. Instead I'm contemplating my therapy session from a little while ago. As well as just procrastinating in general... I hate shopping!

pinky, it could be the same thing i was told once... sometimes the post is a story of sorts, a recounting of the session and/or your feelings... which is wonderful to read, but there isn't anything to "answer" - ie no question. If people dont have a question, a similar experience to share or something like that then they tend not to respond as much. Someone told me that i had walked through my issue in my post in such a way that they just didn't know how to help or add anything... and i got very few replies.

i think a lot of us enjoy reading your posts, but i run out of ways to tell you i think i am in love with your T too! hahaha.. Maybe ask a few open questions or something if you want responses... but otherwise you can always count on many of us just loving to read about your sessions (boxers and all).

Thanks everyone. I really just wanted to make sure that the content of my posts wasn't offending or triggering anyone.

i like reading ur posts about sessions because i can picture it for myself and it makes me feel good for at least a moment

[tulips30]

I gotta tell ya Pink, I love your posts and look forward to them. They really aren't all that provocative unless somebody has a "thing" for boxers. In which case, they are probably enjoying your posts as well.

I agree that some of us wish we had the wonderful relationship that you have worked hard to build with your t. I also agree that at times it's sort of like reading a chapter in an ongoing story and there really isn't a response other than " wow, that's cool and thanks for sharing." Keep em' coming!
