“I am the mirror who reflects back their pain, their fears their
voices. I am the inquirer who asks difficult questions, who searches
for evidence and patterns. I am the companion on the journey
bringing my own story to the encounter, making possible an
interpretive collaboration, I am the audience who listens , laughs ,
weeps an applauds. I am the spider women spinning their tales.. I
am the therapist who offers cathaersis support and challenge… I am
also the stage manager coordinating the intersection of three plays-
the story teller, the narrator and the readers inviting your voice to
the drama” Sara Lawrence Lightfoot
