I really enjoyed having Ray in our group. He held good space and was able to handle a group member’s activated parts really well. I was very impressed with his leadership.

Ray was an excellent PA. He modeled self energy, he modeled speaking for parts. He responded in small groups when someone would share by naming the parts someone spoke for without evaluation.

Also did a great job being self led but directive in keeping small groups and practice groups on track.
