I started the Earley book and it’s definitely a struggle. I usually can handle “soft skills” books like this one without getting frustrated by the vague, hand-wavy models—I really enjoyed Gendlin’s Focusing, for example—but this one’s been especially hard. That said, having your model in mind while I’m reading has kept me going as I’m using it as a sort of Rosetta’s stone for some of Earley’s claims.
Really enjoyed the post, thanks!
