Hi,
Walter Logeman here, new to GroupTalk , though I was here briefly
about decade ago.
I am stimulated by the multiple protagonist discussion. In my
training the idea was not ruled out but not particularly encouraged or
trained for. I just looked up the Wikipedia entry on protagonist and
it is interesting how there are parallels in literature.

I like the use of the birth story that you bought Marcia, that is such
a good metaphor for the cycles of ... well nearly everything!
I have one question, though it might just be about terminology... is
there a difference between a second protagonist, and a highly warmed
up auxiliary who can see their own story in the drama? When that
happens I am sometimes encouraging of the person to say who the
"antagonist" (the person who is the adversary of the protagonist)
might be in their life. I would encourage that person to share after
the drama, and occasionally there might be some sharing with that
auxiliary too. Note I would call them an auxiliary ego for all that,
is this what some others would call another protagonist? Or is there
a further development?
Warm wishes,
Walter
