“My prolonged CPE training (16 units; 1987-1995…clearly I was on the long trail) had a very particular focus to what I will broadly call research. The overwhelming focus of that journey was the understanding and integration of self which in turn guided the care I provided.

Certainly, I do not question the importance of that focus. Those who have spent much time seeking to discern what goes into the “me” and the “you” experiences appreciate the wonder, complexities and consternations of it all.
