listen, do you want to know a secret.....doo wa doo

i was listening to npr on the way home last night and they had the guy who started postsecrets with the appropriate dot after it. it was an interesting discussion about technology and confession and technology and mental health with a shrink who kept up a warning cry and a majority of callers who claim it to be helpful.

ever seen the clothesline project? it's sort of like that...anonymous and pithy and quite touching. one thing did strike me from the mh perspective and that was the "leveling" of trauma. if a post about abuse is followed by a post about something less difficult...does it bring both to a par and therefore, in some way, minimize the angst of one while increasing the angst of the other.

one assumes that most of us reading will not lump the two together but since a large number of readers are younger and not as "wise", will they?

one secret was a man stating that he married his wife so he could use her editing equipment. that seems specific enough to me to be identifiable. no?

the man running the site is lovely and warm and seems genuinely intrigued by the idea of building a community in a different way.

check out the site and then comment if you don't mind taking the time....it is a bit voyeuristic but then so aren't we, eh?
You cannot conceive the many without the one.

 I haven't checked it out yet, WE, but it does seem to me that some therapy could be handled in this fashion. Kinda like writin' in a diary that talks back atcha. Some feedback, some confirmation and some helpful advice. What could be wrong with that?

But should it just exist as an adjunct to face-to-face counseling? Perhaps as "homework" in between sessions? Should it be open to others to comment? Or should it be confidential, between the therapist and the patient only?

I'll go check it out and perhaps put myself under therapeutic counseling. Afterall I haven't had blowjob in many, many moons, and I am becoming clinically depressed because of it!

 Of course we're voyeuristic, I'd say; reading an interesting blog by someone we don't know. I'll go check it out.
