[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 253302, member: 6479"] Another site I'm on does a thing that might help around here, too. I was thinking about that the other day. They have a stickied thread called something like "Letters Never Sent". It's a standard therapy device, but one I've never seen used so well. For those of you not familiar: all the posts are letters to "a" or "X' or sometimes, to an actual name. They all are written as if the poster was really writing to that person, expressing pain, happiness, anger, love, frustration, etc. I've found it to be not only a great release of frustration, but a wonderful way to hear of the good, bad, and sometimes tragic experiences of other posters. I've seen people write to their long-since-passed parents, kids, their own bodies, abusers, best friends, rapists, good therapists, stupid therapists, good dentists, bad pets.....whatever they felt the need to get off their chests. A lot of letters end up to people's kids, in various ways. It's pretty inspiring. [/QUOTE]
