I DO like the idea of writing it both ways, though!

Well, rainbow, even if something is a self-described personal report on therapy progress, the writer of such a report may or may not describe what she/he has to report in clear or obscure ways. Other PC members here might offer insights into whether certain phrases or sentences are confusing to another party, whether they might benefit from some additional explanation, and whether or not the general flow of ideas is smooth as opposed to jerky, in the sense that ideas don't follow each other in an obvious way.
So I really in all honesty do NOT think that outsiders' comments necessarily transmute a personal report into a group report. The reporter is of course at all times (and absolutely) free from any obligation to accept every comment (or ANY comment) made to them. I would think of the kinds of comments and suggestions being invited here as being editorial in nature, for the purpose of clarifying what the reporter is trying to say and ensure that as between the reporter and the T there is as little room for misunderstanding as possible.
Take care!
