   I'd endorse most of your comments - good stuff.


   One event that repeats often in counselling/therapy/
encounter/etc. groups is when somebody talks about some
difficulty they experience then to discover that others
have the same problem.

   What is striking is how many people in those groups,
and therefore out in the world, think their problem is
peculiar to them. The great discovery , which usually
amazes somebody, is that others have the same problem.
