Isn't this part of what they push with cognitive behavioral therapy? The notion is that you take a more objective view of behaviors that you would like to change, and once you've seen them it helps to figure out a way to improve.

The goal in both is modifying behavior but CBT relies on a therapist to convince a patient that their thinking is distorted, to convince them to believe and behave differently. To ultimately stop the automatic behavior.

I accept there are things I can't modify, namely the automatic behavior cbt was meant to stop, and the things I can, and choose to modify are done because I want to. Nobody has to convince me of it.

But that autopilot isn't about rational thought.
