Heh folks, I hate to say it, but we're going to have to shut down this thread. The bottom line is that a discussion board (and the whole of the CVM ministry) takes on HUGE liabilities when it even remotely suggestions it is offering
counselling on the basis of a counselling model. It is one thing for an anonymous participant to offer advice to another anonymous participant. But . I'm told by experts, it is quite another thing for a site to HOST a site that is dedicated to a counselling technique. Having students of TNT "try out" various TNT techniques on virtual strangers on this site invites HUGE liability issues. e.g. If someone cracked up because of anything anyone said on this thread that we sponsored, WE could be help liable.

The original thought was to provide a discussion panel for students of TNT working through quesitons raised in class. Al Larsen will sponsor such a site on his Dynamics of Growth web site. But it will, of necessity, be private -- only for students of TNT.

So... if any INDIVIDUAL wants to raise up an issue they have, or offer advice they want to offer, that is fine. But we simply cannot HOST a counseling thread, or any thread that could be construed as such. I'm sorry, especially because I thought it was really going in a cool direction. This can still happen, but not on a BOARD SPONSORED THREAD dedicated to a counseling technique.

I'm very sorry, and plead with you to graciously understand.

Regretfully,
Doc
