Thanks happyflower. I'm wasn't here to get support for the issues that come up in having a relationship with a T. That's absolutely incorrect. But, just like people have an opinion about a SO in regards to therapy, so do I. The issue of therapy just doesn't involve you and therapist, it includes ideas and feelings about spouses, children, co-workers etc (spouses get talked about often, no?)- because therapy becomes applicable to every aspect of our lives. But this has nothing to do with the therapy relationship at all, in fact. Your relationship is your relationship, just like my relationship is my relationship - but it doesn't preclude ideas and discussions, no?
& when certain topics are brought up, I also have a unique perspective (just like anyone else.) If someone's therapist hugs them, should someone not post because their therapist doesn't? Or should someone not post if they are friends with a T? What about a spouse? It's helpful for you to post about things are T related, no? I want to make this absolutely clear, I was never using this board to get support about that. (In fact, I didn't mention it until a few days ago.) I was offering a first person perspective about another aspect of T's.
& because my perspective makes people uncomfortable, from what I'm gathering - unfortunately, does that mean that my opinion and thoughts don't count? I mean if people here are talking about purple hippos and I happen to have one in my backyard, I shouldn't say anything about it; just because no one else really has a purple hippo. I was actually thinking that another perspective would be help inject some realism into the discussion. It seems that alot of personal questions arise about what are T's like? But it also seems, & forgive me if I'm wrong & I very well may be - but when a first person perspective is offered, the persepctive is not wanted.
I think everyone brings something to the table, whether its a horrible experience with a therapist or a good one, whether someone is a T or in therapy - whether a patient is in love with a T, or the spouse of one. That's all. I appreciate what your saying, I appreciate you posting your thoughts.
