>Bravo, Esther! What an insightful and needed component of your course.
I second that. Such a senstitve approach, and your course is so
much more effective when the emotional baggage is addressed and
put in perspective.

To bring the point a little more personally, I'm sure we can

had to be addressed before we could move on to do what we knew we
had to do.

Well said.  I'll have to remember this one.
