Most people would not believe the level of beneficial sharing and resulting support and learning that occurs routinely when this kind of environment is provided at conferences. I have heard group sharing of intimate stories which, if they had been told to me in a private conversation, would have made me feel honored to be trusted. And I agree that all we can do is provide a safe environment and support those who in the moment want to use it. Thanks Dwight!
