Hi,
This is a thought I just recently had. What if ALL were to create a Therapy/Counseling subforum where people could talk about different therapies and their own experiences in trying to find a counselor/psychologist/therapeutic help? This could also be a place where they could talk about their experiences in therapy.
It might create more of an atmosphere on the forum where people were willing to go get help for being lonely and other issues they have (such as depression, social anxiety, aspergers, alcoholism etc). It might also create an atmosphere where people might be able to fight against their own cognitive distortions, proclivity to not be able to calm themselves when upset, etc.
Most of the people here do not come from therapeutic backgrounds, and I recognize that, and I wouldn't want anyone to take this subforum as medical advice (so there'd have to be a disclaimer), but I do think this subforum might be very helpful for people. I know people already talk about their issues, but it seems as if the forum is geared towards advice-giving, and the therapy subforum might offer a different perspective and outlet for people that might help them as well.
