> Whole different view from what I usually read here. For me therapy didn't work out. Therapists staring off into space, giving homework assignments they forgot they had given the next week. For me I only found therapy useful once in a group setting where we all shared with a therapist as a monitor. Taught us all to listen. Was a good experience. Phillipa
Phillipa sounds like you had some particularly bad therapists. I had a bad pdoc once who typed into a computer through every session. Also had long, brightly painted nails. I could barely focus on anything but the nails and the clacking sound.
Yes I have benefited from groups. Also had groups that felt harmful. Interestingly enough, the groups that felt harmful were my therapist's groups. Probably posted here years ago about it. I got kicked out of one of them. The other members voted me out while I was on vacation. You can't make this stuff up.
