Hey Kay, well said. As anyone working in their respective field knows, academic knowledge and applied experience are two different worlds. We tend to respect credentials rather than wisdom and your point is of utmost importance. After all it isn't cars engine we are working on but our own self. My approach to therapy was always and still is cautious. We tend to seek therapy because of one reason, we believe there is something wrong with our self. If our being who we are was accepted as norm, thoughts of therapy would never occur. It is the society who force this Freak label upon us and create turmoil within, we are perfect! Whoever invented mirror should be condemned!:-)
Love, Alexia.
