I learnt that the way I was communicating was keeping me trapped and alone, preventing me from connecting with others and developing close relationships. I practiced honesty with myself and the group, which resulted in building authentic personal relationships – there are people in the world who care and want to know about me and my opinion! I believe truth and intimacy with others heals – I am dealing with and not alone in my pain. I loved watching others grow and was excited by my own growth. And I’m looking forward to doing the course again next term. Thank you, Andrew, for providing a safe and respectful environment for this to happen, and for your truthful insight and kind guidance.
