the study that lead to this model began … when I was growing up … & like many of us my feelings hurt a lot … too much
… and when it wasn’t getting better … and since I didn’t want to spend my whole life that way … and …
since everything else about me seemed to be functioning smoothly, and after trying some of society’s suggestions
like religion, which worked very well for a while, but not for me over the long run …
I began this study …
It’s based on the belief that you can’t fix something … or keep it working well … unless you know how it works … and …
since I knew I felt my feelings are in me, they’re a part of me, I knew I needed to know how I work … at this level
so when I found the nervous system is responsible I knew I needed a reliable understanding of how this system works … at a level …
I could relate … to my feelings …
it’s similar to understanding how the body’s other systems work … at a level we can relate to … and use
to make adjustments … to maintain their health … or … in other words … to keep them in balance
now since I understand … how things work best … visually … I looked for a physical explanation … and this is when
I found that the nervous system … the central system in the body … is responsible for all conscious experience …
… including feelings … but there was nothing about “how” …
