Anyone have experience here with the partners megathread? Any and all please share. I'm undecided and would like to know how it's gone for others? Ty

I found some partners on the thread who were interested before, but I backed out once I realized that the other people weren't sure and even I wasn't sure. I realized the risk it would put us both in by sharing personal information with each other and that the more people you do CBT with, the greater your risk of getting caught or someone intervening. It just adds too many uncontrollable factors into an already precarious situation where failed CBT is not uncommon. I've also heard of success stories from the megathread too so it really depends on the person and how much you'd want that extra support or companionship as well as what level of risk tolerance you have.

I found a partner with whom I talked with for months, even on the phone and face-timed. Things were going well. Long story short, they lied to me about something and that blew-up the trust we had built, and our timetable wasn't exactly meshing right, either. I genuinely liked them, though, still do.
