Read MoreListening to Prof. Bohart felt like being validated. That he was talking about how I work as a therapist and it was a way that worked. It was also a way that does have some power to scare those who believe they have power as the expert. I particularly liked how Art spoke about meeting the client as a person and that the therapist was a person too. Just to be able to meet as people and be, to honour that relationship. I also liked how he took the 'I/Thou' aspect so often quoted and turned it round to be 'Thou/I' and that just fitted into my own self, gave me a shift, that 'felt sense' and gave me courage to be a person, a therapist, because it is my way of being not something I 'assume' to be a therapist. I am a person before I am a therapist. Great talk.

Great, lecture from Bohart that highlighted the essence of PCT, loved Bohart's explanation near the end why PCT is not supported the state.
