about the original example of the support group, is that it might look like those people aren't improving, but it might be that complaining endlessly in the group is actually keeping them from practicing more self-destructive ways of coping.
She also says, when I'm getting uncomfortable with my own complaining, "People need to talk about their pain". Like it's the simplest thing in the world. I really like that.
