I'm sorry you felt I was blaming you. I really wasn't at all. It really was more what Dinah said, I was really trying to show that not all therapists try to control their patients, although I would certainly believe that many do. But there are people in all sorts of professions that don't act as well as they should. It's not your fault at all if you happen to have had some bad luck. I was just showing my perspective, which is that my therapist has been really sensitive and caring and has not tried to control me in the least. I remember the post you're talking about, although I'm also not sure where it was. I have never told my therapist about my involvement here, but more because I've never felt the need to and there's never been an occasion where I thought it would be useful or in any way relevant to what we are working on. At some point I'm sure I will mention it, and I'm really pretty confident he'll be fine with it. Anything I find helpful he's pretty much in favor of. But I do know he's a little more relaxed than some therapists, so there are certainly therapists that wouldn't agree. Anyway, I wasn't trying to push the party line, I was just trying to share my experience and how there are other possibilities for people in therapy besides being controlled by their therapist.
Happy New Year to you as well.
