It was not Goth idea's to let this issue go. In fact, she is the one who keeps bringing it up.
She didn't want to agree to disagree until just now accepting that as her her best option but even then that is not her praxis because she continues pouncing on it.
Ian was right at pointing out that sooner or later this board goes into that issue as a result of Goth. She sets the step and we dance. Reminds me to somebody else in another board that created exactly that kind of environment forcing people to talk only about certain things.
Don't think that I don't agree with the point you are making, that we must liberate ourselves from a guilty feeling - but some therapists get paid to brown-nose and their advise is suspect. Also, a therapist is first a human being who, if something has worked out for them they will also recommend it to others as part of therapy - even if it is denial. This is unimportant because the bottom line is, if it works for you, go for it but do not hurt others in your process of healing or whatever. They are not my favorite people. I haven't gotten that impression from you. On the contrary, your posts show support and empathy unlike others in the same or similar topics.
