This autobiographical article describes how the author came to practice TA and Gestalt, after which she developed her own approach–existential pattern theory and therapy. She describes some important prior experiences and how she came to work exclusively in Europe for the past 14 years. The author muses about how early experiences in her grandfather's living room and the fact that fortune-telling gypsies were her only role models of independent women had a determining impact on the “career” aspects of her script.
