Daryl, I loved reading more of your personal story about starting to track outcomes in 2004. That was my first year of tracking too, when I attended a 2 day training with Scott - and I've been tracking ever since.
Many of the books you read were the ones I devoured as well. Our paths diverged when you went into the research stream & I remained a clinician, a lone practitioner of what was then known as Client Directed Outcome Informed (CDOI) tracking, in a crowd of devotees to particular models of therapy.
It was only when I got up the courage to contact you & then Scott, that I felt connected to a community of like minded therapists. This link is very precious to me. Working with Scott on how Deliberate Practice can keep me at my growing edge is an ongoing adventure, replete with its own twists, turns & dead ends. Thanks so much for your words, work & presence.

PS I am one of the weirdos who reads footnotes & did not find this post self indulgent :)
Vivian, your words of encouragement means a lot. We are kindreds in this sense.
