Gary and Greg, thanks for the input.
Our CSG conferences - What's happened over the years is that we
have become a close family, and the sense of closeness is something
very special. As a very practical person with a non-scientific
mind, at first I was at a loss and overwhelmed by what was being
talked about. It was the patience and kindness of the scientists
in the group that helped me not only to understand PCT, but feel a
part of the CSG. It has been with the help of others that I've
been able to take PCT and use it in my own day to day work both as
a consultant in schools, corrections, etc. and in my counseling
practice. What I'm trying to say is that it never occurs to CSG
members to look down at someone because of their limited abilities
or understanding of CSG or to segregate them into another group.
Everyone accepts you and respects you, even as they differ or
challenge what you say, but urging you along, showing all kinds of
confidence in your ability to learn more. A mutual respect and
need for each others talents for the benefit of all has grown
evident over the years. For those like myself, that's a powerful
experience.
