Hypothetical Question

[jennyjoan]

As above - if you were to be offered counselling/talking therapy - would you consider an American's viewpoint. And being charged £50. No I'm not talking about my American just generally. Thanks

It's chatterbank...is there such a need for the grilling?

[Zacs-Master]

There’s a need for clarity, context and perspective. Otherwise, why post?

[Mamyalynne]

JJ was testing the water, wanted to chat and get others opinions - she has no need to bare her soul for that.

[anneasquith]

Maybe sometimes abers use the site to ‘ think out loud’ . Jj did no harm .

[Mamyalynne]

Excellent way of putting it Anne, though just lately it seems whenever JJ posts one or two pounce negatively very quickly.

Quite unnecessary.

[anneasquith]

Jj quite often is not shown much patience on AB .

[pastafreak]

So very true.
There's that old saying..."If you haven't anything nice to say..."
It doesn't hurt to be nice.

I've not heard of "talking therapy" but it's another term for psychotherapy.

This explains the difference between counsellors and psychotherapists which might help.

I have a lot of patience for jj, she is sometimes hilarious without knowing it ( makes her a great poster ), and I always wanted an Irish girlfriend ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

I think you'd have a queue forming Tony - I'm part Irish I'm sure ;-)

[anneasquith]

I have noticed your online attraction with jj Tony. So has she . :-)

[tonyav]

Ohhhh those Irish gals, I do hope your Irish ancestors were from Galway Mamya.

You know how it is, anne ;-)

[gness]

JJ’s fine. Not a Kerry girl but fine all the same. :-)

[tonyav]

LOL, are those Kerry gals like Galway gals, gness ;-)

[gness]

Just as fiesty, Tony and just as much fun. :-)

[gness]

Feisty...... couldn’t get it to stop correcting feisty to Fiesta.

[tonyav]

Ohhh theres something about those feisty Irish gals, gness ( you should know ) ;-)

[gness]
