In a social worker who reluctantly became involved in mental health treatment. An excellent experience, but I’m careful to identify in my private practice of 40 years that I’m a social worker, and as such, I believe that environment and relationships and opportunities need to be dealt with logically and with some hard choices. Not some hard choices, always hard choices. I also believe that unless seriously damaged in brain or psyche, and by that I mean, soul, people have the wisdom within them to see the right direction. I’m not the kind of therapist that doesn’t give advice, lets people consider really horrible choices that will lead them to danger or regret beyond coping. And I also believe that it’s really easy to become a therapist who enables the weakest part of somebody which disable their strength. So thank you for this lovely article and your book looks intriguing. I intend to read it.
