If therapy is a relational process it takes a person on the therapist’s end. The goal of this book is to capture the therapist’s evolving sense of self as it is shaped by our experiences as active participants in a creative interaction. The essays in this book are first-person accounts by eleven therapists of some “Aha!” moments when they got to understand themselves better and to understand better why they do what they do.
