Just in case ...
A short post to answer the reader if they (possibly) could take it that a disparity exists between what I posted in "Responsive agreement" about brutality in therapy and what I posted in "Feeding the sheep"
The second post (Feeding the sheep) explains more deeply the idea I was getting to in the first post where I made the statement (with parentheses) on the bringing to use a "bag of tricks" into therapy as my idea of brutality. Since I do not "use techniques" in therapy, it's the way I understand "bag of tricks" in the first post that I am expanding on in the second post.
