I think it would be very helpful if you did contribute when you feel moved to, not as a judge or administrator, but simply as a person like us, speaking from your own felt phenomenological world with all its distortions. In my own therapy it is what I have found most real and un-mad making. It is what has been important to me in meeting you. That I can become a person in relation to your personhood.

This strange idea that the psychiatrist or therapist should be some kind of outside objective observer or judge just doesn't work. It leads to hubris, and doesn't help us to find agency, it takes it away.

Just my two cents worth....
