Hello to all of you,

I feel a bit frustrated by the quietness of this pod. The focus, Integral Psychotherapy, is quite pertinent and important, but there seems to be a difficulty for thoughts to build and budd. This is certainly the case in many pods and I’m certainly also accountable for that.

I just thought I shared my frustration, as I thought this pod was a great idea. I hope it does not stay a potentially interesting place, but that it becomes a truly inspiring place.

I was wondering if the fact that it may involve some quite intimate revelations, about us or our clients, we felt kind of restrained! Then I thought that it could be a closed pod so we could share deep therapeutical experience. I’m not sure it’s a good idea - just wondering.

I'm new to this whole experience in Zaadz, but I am a psychology major that is interested in many aspects of the field.  I would like to find out what you have going on in here.

HI Patrick:  I hear what you are saying.  I feel some responsibility for this state of affairs, and yet am only too aware of how challenging and busy my daily life is at the moment.

I don't have an answer right now – except that I appreciate you sharing your feelings….since that is a step towards more authentic dialogue for all of us.

Hello there: Given the intensity of committments in other areas of my life that require my attention, I have asked Katherine to become more involved as admin for this experiment in integral psychotherapy community building.  Thank you, Katherine!

Regards,
Durwin

Thanks Durwin for your answer,

I know it’s sometimes difficult to make these pods live. There are so many questions and development that could be done with this one, that I felt frustrated.

I know it takes time and I’ll try to be patient.

And good to have Katherine into the admin.
