Re: "Integrating control-mastery theory & research with other theoretical perspectives"
I'd be interested in Helene elaborating a bit more about the idea of a "cosmology"...because it seems right-on the mark that although one CAN define beliefs as affectively and sensory rich experiences and even images, the term doesn't lend itself to that expanded view. But what I hear Helene saying is that, in practice, when we saying something like: "You think that if you're strong, you'll hurt women just like you felt growing up"...that we're saying--"you're entire experience of the world, the universe, the relationship between the planets, the air you breathe is the same now as it was as a child and that experience made sense then but is fucked up now--so why don't you try to gradually change that entire sense of the universe here with me....."
