Abstract

Al was my first client at a detoxification center. In my youth I tried to save him, but did not. I did learn from Al about humility and boundaries. I now use the story about working with AL in my teaching. It captures the disappointment I felt in me and my client, and built within me a new place to explore the balance between heart and mind.
