😝 If what you mean by "rational self" is emotionally shut down self where your emotions pull the strings via your subconscious as if you were a puppet, then yes. It's kind of like what you are doing right now, where the author has presented a model based in psychology and known interpersonal dynamics and because it feels threatening to you in some way, you are making up scenarios laden with emotion to try to discount her and pretending it's "logical."
