"I'm going to try to make a word for this idea if I can get some help from someone who knows Greek or Latin: “the suppression or eradication of a repetitive, useless, or unwanted thought or series of such thoughts, for the aim of giving way to the emergence of new, possibly more constructive or creative thoughts through rational substitution.” Any takers?"I say, "cognitive de-fragmentation" or "cog-de-frag." But what do I know (and it's not a proper 'word' at all)? Any takers?
Comments are now open. I suppose this is as good a time as any, but I'll only post anonymous comments (and convert salient non-anon comments to the anonymous). Don't make me close the comments again, please.
