Hi, Douglas. My motive in posting Authentic Communication and much of
what else I’ve posted in class has been to gain acceptance and
approval. I have known for some time that this has been a motive but
until your question, Douglas, I was unwilling to acknowledge it. Thank
you for your question. Indeed penetrating. I wrestled with whether
to post this to you privately, Douglas, or in class and have chosen to
post it to the class even though I can’t seem to shake the sense that
posting it would be to gain further acceptance and approval of Coach.
I’m sorry that I used you to gain favor. My wife has suffered from
Crohn’s for the last 10 years and I know at least indirectly what an
impact such a condition as yours can have. I hope you’re feeling
better today and have gotten some sleep. Sincerely, Student John
