This kind of thing is a “given” in certain spaces. The practices of Circling, Focusing, Nonviolent Communication, and Internal Family Systems all try to distance oneself a little from one’s experiences / feelings and treat them as ‘objects’ or ‘observations’ or even ‘subagents’ without auto-judgment. The practicers tend to be good about not making the assumption that “I feel X” means “I endorse X,” and this is obvious from the way they communicate with each other.
It is one of the things I’d love to see more of in rationality spaces.
