I get that. For me it all kind of was happening at the same time I guess. And sometimes it was more about being heard, and other times it was more about gaining understanding from what we were talking about in relation to those stories. It goes back and forth, and often happens simultaneously. I never could have reached that kind of understanding of myself simply online though. Far too complex and gaining those insights was highly personally interactive. Couldn't have done that to a computer screen.
