I thought that was what I was imagining too, but I realized that what I'm offering isn't simply "a place to talk about your problems". What's missing in these communities, I think, is a particular level of expertise and understanding of personal development, our ego, personality differences, etc. It's hard to describe, that's why I don't really know how to pitch my idea succinctly.
- throwaway81523 4y agoDo you mean you want a discussion site with therapists or psychologists doing AMAs or leading group discussions or something like that? Or do you mean you want a more sophisticated user community, something like Math Overflow for self-help practitioners? The first seems like mostly a matter of how to pay the professonals, the second is likely to be more self-organized and closed and probably exists in many forms under the radar already.
