Therapist Sessions

It's depressing to see how inactive it has been recently. I mean, everybody is pretty much primarily posting in the never ending thread now and there's not enough people here to make this place really booming. We need to find some way to bring more people here before this place just fades into nothingness...

I know for a fact that a lot of boards out there are thriving because of how many people are there. We just need to get back into the game and pull people here. However, where we obtain these people might matter, because we don't to end up pulling in douches like those at Selkath.

I don't know a single person who would speak freely in front of their parents. Everybody I know who is 30 and under would rather lie if asked about "Did they use recreational drugs?" and everybody I know 30 and takes to avoid their parents.

Parents do not need to be in the room when kids speak to therapists, in fact most of the time, a therapist will insist that the parents stay outside...
