Day 430: What I learned at the group therapy conference

Here’s a quick (and incomplete) list of what I learned, over the last two days, at the group psychotherapy conference I attended in Boston:

1. Helpful words to remember, before starting something new: “You are about to sail into the unknown.  It is wise to be cautious when first meeting strangers. Look around for a familiar face, in order to feel safer.”
2. Yo-Yo Ma once said, “Good things happen when you meet strangers.”

I think that about covers it, for now.

Thanks to Yo-Yo Ma,

to Wikipedia (for the above photo), to the strange and the familiar, to everybody I met at the conference, to anyone who ever gets confused by how-the-heck the featured image for my post relates to the topic, and to you — of course! — for reading today.
