gg,
I have been flailing around, experimenting with technique. My agendae are for communication. Its hard for me to read the audience and find my "voice", when I am also assembling the model. For almost 6 years, David Peck was always just a phone call away. We could meet for lunch, meet for coffee, etc. He passed away and I lost my guide. He was the one urging me along this path to coaching as an alternative to being a therapist.
We started this whole thing many years ago, exploring an educational model over a therapy model. That's partly why I pursued a PhD in Education instead of "shrinkdom". Am I starting to whine?
Czek out www.decisionhome.com. Browse the categories and see a picture of David and a small “snapshot” of what he was up to when he died last May. I am the caretaker of his legacy of writings and magazine articles (some remained unpublished). He was 78 when he passed away, and I had been a friend for the last 29 years.
I'm not sure that any of this matters now. I have taken the initiative to reorganize the info and have come up with my own model. I have not done well at voicing my model here. However, this is not my market either. Very confusing, probably. I just plan to keep using Babble as a journalling outlet, (Dinah's idea for herself, sounded good to me). Babble is a terrific source of objective feedback, if I may say so. I feel my continuing encouragement for all to look for that day of wellness can be my "trading stock" for whatever I get from the many posting folks. ...and in your parlance, as it may fit their style and need.
I call these rambling thoughts my preambl-ings... Other thoughts will follow.......
Thanx for listening...Rod
