Seems interesting, how do you "reason with the facts" He wasn't clear enough for me. Do you reject the thought with visualisation?
well I'll try to explain what I did and I hope it's clean enough.
think about this for a moment:
you see a beautiful woman, you have a thought such as : I really want her or her approval, that thought creates a chemical reaction in the brain which turns into an emotion- let's say:
now the emotion is 'neediness'.
But then you visualize or imagine that the original thought comes out of your head, if you do that correctly then the emotion is also gone and you are free\ back in the logic realm.
I hope I explained it well enough, think about it, try it....
takes some practice but when I did it many times it became easier to switch from emotion to logic when I wanted to (and I was not needy with the French lady and so I got her

)
