hey, author here. i didn't realize this was on hacker news :)
a thought occured to me yesterday - perhaps my use of this internal model isn't "for everyone", but it "works for me" because of some kind of placebo effect. every time i have emotional reactions, i'm able to look at them through this lens and act in a way that typically involves modifying an errant belief.

I think the key point is that you now have developed this reflective process by which you consider your emotions and beliefs. Expect it to continue to get richer!
