Perceive, Think, Act

[paymanz]

"Making an effort to learn how to use techniques of food, hormones, light, activity, etc., is similar to the effort needed to work with a psychologist, and the effort itself is part of the therapy—the particular orientation of the psychotherapist isn’t what’s therapeutic, it’s the ability to participate in meaningful interactions, that is, the ability to provide a situation in which the person can practice being human. When people start thinking about the things in their life that can be changed, they are exercising aspects of their organism that had been atrophied by being in an authoritarian culture. Authoritarians talk about protocols, but the only valid ‘protocol’ would be something like ‘perceive, think, act'."

Thinking is the direct opposite of feeling, and perhaps the 'Perceive, Think, Act' protocol itself is biased towards one of the Thinking/Feeling poles and therefore necessarily, if strictly adhered to, also atrophies an aspect of the organism, namely the judgement of feeling.
