I really hope that a therapist didn't just poll an Internet message board
with a "what is therapy?" query a couple weeks before treating a
potentially suicidal patient.
There's "not fully understanding" and then there's "not having a clue."
Then there's (gasp!) "I've actually done this for a living and here's
what's worked for me" - THOSE are the people whose seminars *I* prefer to
attend.

gearing up to teach my upcoming "Quantum Physics for Dummies" seminar, but
first planning to watch a couple episodes of "Quantum Leap." You know, to
make sure I have a good foundation.
