In response to your message Colleen;

My first reaction was fear, fear that we would loose this privilege we have

to listen to those far more educated and experienced in this field that we

all hold very dear to our hearts. Is it our right to demand their responses

to our pleas for help or to demand that they talk about what we want to

hear? Several months ago I too asked for some help with a case, and didn't

receive any reply. At first I was disappointed but then I thought that

perhaps if I had done more of the background work and had made it more

interesting for them, then maybe I would have gotten their attention.

Now I am just very thankful for the many insights I get listening to every

topic. Aren't we in a " holistic " profession after all!

All of my teachers were Chinese and because most of them didn't have much

command of English, it was impossible for them to convey indepth

explanations. I value every perspective I get now.
