I had a discussion with my therapist about getting involved in online message boards and she was also very against it. I think she was afraid there are a lot of bad therapists out there and that a lot of the advice would be rubbish. I got quite offended at this, and said don't you think I am astute enough to tell the difference. And we haven't really talked about it since. I think part of this attitude is simply because the therapist feels excluded and that the therapy could be (partially) supplanted by the online support group.

But, what your therapist said about it diluting what goes on in therapy does kind of ring true with me as well. Maybe by discussing things here on the board, we dissipate the feelings that we are having, so by the next session, the feelings are less intense and we have actually taken a step back where we were progressing. Hmmm, now I don't know what I think.
