It is interesting that you found the comparison between the writer or artist and the psychotherapist because you efforts also were creative. If your suggestions or methods, created by you, worked or didn't work and were appreciated or not, you felt the consequences. I'm glad you stopped by and made the comparison because it shows just how wide the scope of this issue is when we apply it to everything we do. Debra H.

It all depended on the client, and I would do something "right" and the client might not like it. If things went badly, I felt badly.When the client did well, I was pleased that they had done well.

Whether one is a writer ...Carol, You are so right. Whether one is a writer or an artist of any type, one needs some type of validation. Last night, I participated in a reading for new pieces published in The Birmingham Arts Journal (my story, Early Frost appears in the April edition). After those of us with published pieces read, the microphone was open. Three people read....different levels of achievement, but all wanted applause and encouragement. Thanks for stopping by today....dhgDebra H.
