You're probably right that most of us aren't therapists (at least I know that I'm not one), but isn't this stretching things a bit far? I thought this community was about bringing different people together, not self-censorship in the name of unhurt feelings. I'd be willing to bet that nobody in this thread had the intention of hurting Gilda's feelings - not a one. In fact, I think all the posts in this thread were meant to help. We just express ourselves in different ways. And, to simply state facts, the TFP doesn't revolve around one person - that's the beauty of it. This isn't a private session with a professional therapist. This is an internet discussion board.

I think you should give us all (including Gilda) a little more credit.
