No argument.
In fact, my intent was to compliment you, since most people don't even come close to getting it. The specificity was not to correct you, but to reach the majority who have not experienced it, and to cite the one characteristic that keeps it from being lumped in as just another of of dozens of interchangeable "body work" modalities.
You embody the great paradox about AT: people come to it to get something fixed, and then stay with it long after the problem disappears. Who keeps seeing an orthopedist after the pain goes away? Obviously, AT is reaching something deeper than mere therapy. You get it. You're an independent witness to this, whereas I obviously have a vested interest. I post rarely, because it can appear that I'm just selling something. One consequence is that I try to explain it more than sell it. I admit hypersensitivity due to the fact that it is so much a part of my personal identity now.
My apology for the fussiness.
By any chance, is your teacher Bruce Oliver?
Peace.
