- Gary and Greg, thanks for the input.

- Our CSG conferences - What's happened over the years is that we
- have become a close family, and the sense of closeness is something
- very special. As a very practical person with a non-scientific
- mind, at first I was at a loss and overwhelmed by what was being
- talked about. It was the patience and kindness of the scientists
- in the group that helped me not only to understand PCT, but feel a
- part of the CSG. It has been with the help of others that I've
- been able to take PCT and use it in my own day to day work both as
- a consultant in schools, corrections, etc. and in my counseling
- practice. What I'm trying to say is that it never occurs to CSG
- members to look down at someone because of their limited abilities
- or understanding of CSG or to segregate them into another group.
- Everyone accepts you and respects you, even as they differ or
- challenge what you say, but urging you along, showing all kinds of
- confidence in your ability to learn more. A mutual respect and
- need for each others talents for the benefit of all has grown
- evident over the years. For those like myself, that's a powerful
- experience.
