Thanks for this perspective, ATAT! Funny, I've never equated needing instruction/insight/information as being broken. Or possessing information making one a savior. I've never thought the idea of my needing information as implying there's something wrong with me. I agree, though, that my phrasing might sound formal, and therapist as teacher w/ syllabus doesn't quite describe my experience, either. I wonder, if the learning is incidental (as indeed some if not much of my own learning had been) does that mean the T doesn't instruct? Hmm...
