So LSD and trauma can cause disparate parts of the brain to talk to each other. One would think that you could turn down the volume of the left side of your brain with meditation, but it doesn't seem to be so. There may not be enough novelty or enough oomph to do it.
Berns recommends consciously confronting categories and listing them, adding in weird ones like stupid, or hot. I would suggest that this is also a type of "reframing". This is something I try to do a lot with ideas I'm working on. To try to put the project in a totally different category. Acupuncture as a sort of "self soothing" or as a mounting of a healing response or as a form of neuromodulation, or as a proxy for exercise, or as a stimulation of ancient primordial mimic pathways of fish. etc....
