Пользователь Daily Kos признал, что группы взаимопомощи эффективнее профессиональной терапии

Recently, the chaplain at the senior center, Peter, told me that research has shown that peer support groups help more than professionals like him. A while back, my professional councilor, Julie, mentioned that you, IAN, you are my peer support group. I have been posting at Daily Kos, at a grief support group, since 2007. My first wife, Pam, was getting terminal at that time, and she died in early 2008. I have kept posting here at Daily Kos all these years. Plus, in my 12 years working at Walmart, my bosses and co-workers and customers were my emotional support group. I married my second wife, Tonia, on the 25th of October, 2011, and still kept posting here at IAN. Tonia passed away in early 2022. I worked through my recent mental health crisis, and you here at IAN have been a home to come to at all times. So, I am saying, thank you! Thank you so much. Hugs. I forgot. I go to the nearby church every Sunday. I am an atheist, so I see them as a peer support group. I also have been part of other religious groups, down through the years. I see them all as peer support groups. Okay. Have a great day! I forgot: 10 passengers on the bus are a support group, and 100 people at the senior center.
