After sometime though it seems a minor thing and one wonders why we made such a big deal out of it. Its been a bit of both for me.I have learned something from most of my life experiences.

I once heard a wise old man say: "We fight change with every means at our disposal." When problems are great we build up a great fortress of defences and make damn sure we keep all threats out - big or small. Such a person is pretty immune to change at that point. When the defences are lower we still keep full frontal attacks out, but allow smaller, less threatening things in and they then help to change our inner culture. (I don't know if m metaphor works well, but you get my drift.) You've made an important point for teachers, therapists, etc. to consider. I think you’re really on to something here.
