I found that discussion of the gastroenterologist and the psychotherapist odd too. The writer says:
> In body-budgeting terms, however, this distinction between mental and physical is not meaningful.
But surely going to a gastroenterologist for help with your (non-existent) divorce or a psychotherapist for (unnecessary) diet ideas, means you are not fixing the underlying problems. That just suggests that obscuring the distinction between mental and physical is not so helpful.
