Love this. Years of therapy have made me realize therapists train you to create and use a hypervisor for your brain. Your brain thinks it is in full control, but a meta-cognitive part of it (the hypervisor) is capable of watching it and stepping in to intervene. It can be as tangible as not returning evil for evil when you have every right to. For whatever reason, this resonates more than simply calling it executive function.
