I was listening to an interview with a psychotherapist who's also Buddhist practitioner by the name of Bruce Tift, I believe is his name. He was talking about these negative habits, specifically he was talking about neuroses. And he was positing that neuroses really require almost like a certain level of ritual to maintain them. When you're in that space, in that anxious neurotic space, you're sort of necessarily disembodied.
