Hi Dr. Clay--Nice to meet you. You seem to be an intelligent, caring individual. I am intrigued by this forum and your theory that every problem as 5 parts/levels. Certainly, with all due respect, do you think you could be making this a whole lot more difficult than it has to be? Sometimes a solution just presents itself. Also, don't you think that those of us who have suffered with mental illness, seen psychiatrists, therapists, et al, tend to over-analyze and get mired in the "why" of the problem rather than moving more quickly to a solution? I certainly think that most of us, certainly I do, tend to be extremely sensitive, perhaps overly so, to physical and emotional changes within ourselves. Do you think this hypersensitivity contributes to an increase in "problems?"

I apologize for rambling and in advance for possibly getting us off track. I certainly will take a look at your book.

Thanks.
