Trigger-Action Plan, as opposed to Trigger-Action Pattern means the mental algorithm was voluntarily implemented.
Cognitive TAP means the trigger originates in the brain. For example “confusion” is a cognitive trigger, whereas “opening a door” is a physical one and “starting a discussion” is a social one.

Trigger: Have an idea

Voice irrationality
Trigger: Feeling that I have an irrational motivation
Action: Voice the irrationality to others
Rationale: I often have the narrative that I’m aware of my irrational thoughts, and they don’t influence my explicit conclusions. But I’m still concern they have an impact on my thinking. Voicing them allows me to make them real and fully acknowledge them and respond to them. If I free myself of more irrational thoughts, it might make more space for rational thinking.
