"why do you feel that way" has 2 interpretations: 1. What is the mechanism that makes you feel that way? 2. What is the justification for feeling this way? (Implied: I think it's not justified) I often mean 1 but it comes out as 2--these are useful strategies for defusing that!

One advantage of the training and practice is that you have an "inner CTL" to talk to when facing your own difficulties.
