Daniel's Therapy by Poetry Tile, Can poetry help people? Options

[Guest_Jox_*]

Hi all,

I've moved this debate out of my own poem's section because it seemed independent ("off topic," if you care for that phrase) and also because it has elicited a strong response, so needs a fair airing.

It was started by Daniel. I cannot move individual entries across and preserve the posters - so each entry will have my name against it. Nevertheless, I have put the real poster's name above that.

Please continue to respond here - I'm sure Daniel would appreciate the feed-back.

All posts on this topic have now been moved - further responses would be appreciated, I'm sure.

James.

Original posting from Daniel...

Hello,

I'm dropping in before an important meeting with our clinical director to discuss a decision to not allow me to use my poetry in support groups. If they stick by that, they're taking away from me one of my most important tools to help people to open up... but, hey, such is life.  Anyhow, I'm going to dry to get her to reconsider.  They've never witnessed my using it, and I suspect that the only one who is objecting is my "supervisor" who hasn't done a lick of supervising since she took the position!
