I believe your missing the point Vicky... I don't practice therapy on anyone here. I do not prey upon anyone either. I do not do any of the bullshit your stating or presuming I do. What I do here is help others come to terms with how to deal with their trauma, how to get beyond what the problems they have within their life. Therapy is failing them, hence why people look elsewhere. I do not tell anyone to not have therapy, in fact quite the opposite, in that people especially need a local therapist if I am pushing them with their trauma, for them to look really hard and find all the facts themselves, to learn how to process and analyze their problems. It works, that is a fact. As a therapist you are about to become, you're about to take a new learning discovering with change towards trauma based therapy, as the mental health field is moving towards exactly what I use to help people get through their problems. Me helping someone does not denote being in therapy with me.... far from it. I am simply helping them with one aspect of their life... their trauma and PTSD as a result of their trauma. The rest must be dealt with locally through a therapist.

It has been proven and legally found that therapy comes in many forms. Simply seeking the shoulder of a loved one or friend, partner even, is actually a form of therapy. People tried taking AA consortiums to court, because those who suffer alcoholism are giving advice to others from "their experience" and helping others get through it. They are not qualified anything, just people who endured, overcame and have experience with knowledge to help others. Court ruled in favour of the AA meetings being a legitimate form of therapy that did not require any formal training.

This is exactly how online communities such as this run, in that it is based on experience, not on professional qualification. We help one another with our experience learnt, both theoretical and practical.... no qualification needed. I think your stepping over the line and have confused your newly found qualification with real life practice and commonsense.
