Dear John,
Thank you for your very detailed response, which I will need to re-read
later when I have more time. I agree with your comments about therapy -
there is a very fine balance between checks and balances on professionalism
and losing the uniqueness of each potentially healing human encounter, to
me we have been swinging too much towards the former and losing some of our
essence. Equally I think counselling has become muddled up in people's
minds with trauma support work (two different entities even though paths do
cross) and this has given counselling and therapy a bad press.
you keep to your defences -so long as you are aware and choiceful more power
to you!!!!!!!
All the best
Audrey
