Amen, bro. This is right straight up what one learns how to do in all of these five psychotherapies:
DBT – http://behavioraltech.org/resources/whatisdbt.cfm
MBCT - Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy: theory and practice - PubMed
ACT – ACT | Association for Contextual Behavioral Science
10 StEP – Pair A Docks: The 10 StEPs of Emotion Processing
MBBT – An Introduction to Mind-Body Bridging & the I-System – New Harbinger Publications, Inc
One of the 10 StEPs, no less. Great stuff.
