This is a great site.
Thanks Paul, I wonder if someone knows how to get this program for patient use.
This deals with normative frequencies.
The only problem is the while it gets the message across, the individual thinks that they were destined to be one of the open figures, impenetrable and made special.
The darker outlined figures are someone other than self.
Cheers
