So I looked up "strategies for managing paranoia andy weil" partly because I'd like for WUaS to explore offering online approaches to this eventually through World University and School's online teaching hospital - and in countries' main languages, and especially addressing intercultural questions online (since my friend is from Europe, has lived in Britain, has a Welsh father, and now has lived in the US for many years, and is married to a Korean man, for example).
