    In DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) this is called accessing the wise mind. A basic technique is to write down a question, and then, while pretend you are someone you admire (Jesus, Einstein, Darth Vader, whoever) write down a responsive answer.

    And yes, this is subtly what the whole What Would Jesus Do? movement was about.

      I’ve had mixed results with Darth Vader. He’s not the most emotionally available of role model. Although I do agree with his position on small children, they can very be annoying
