Caution Re Advice

I'm jumping in here not because I see anything I disagree with, but just to remind people that in this forum, because we get such limited snippets of information, its hard for advice to be relevant or informed. That's why all of my posts are expressed as things that are generally true, and may or may not apply in a given case. I don't think it is appropriate for me to give specific advice because the info is so limited. Not everyone feels so constrained.

In the above dialogue, two EMDR clients are having a conversation, and one is giving advice to the other. It doesn't really break any rules of the forum, but I'm a bit uneasy, because I want any such "advisees" to understand that any "advisors" on this forum aren't fully informed about your case, none of us are, and so it would perhaps be unwise to put a lot of weight on that advice. And advisors should understand that people may want advice so much they put unwarranted weight on what is recommended - even though the advisee doesn't know the qualifications of the person giving the advice.
