---------------- While agreeing with the spirit of your post . There would be no Movement were it not for the teachers, volunteers and countless other underpaid and unpaid. Perhaps at the moment we can do no better than "freely" and "willingly" I think further reflection would prove otherwise. As has been noted in the past, those who gave of their time, especially in the beginning, were never properly compensated. I can't imagine a qualified therapist recommending an analysand spend "20 years wallowing in it". Unless of course there's a looming 2nd mortgage. Seeing the error of your ways may only be a beginning; meaningful change may take longer. Delighted to see you participating again. What I remember of your posts - as with a handful of others - is the wealth of personal experience. Those who were there in the meetings, on the courses or running the centers have a reservoir of firsthand knowledge useful in overcoming the disorientation created by an organization reengineering its history. -----------------
