"The values and emotional/behavioral patterns that we enact in our trading inevitably reflect those we live outside of our trading. "
The statement doesn't appear incorrect to me - but simply not very relevant - and creating a straw man to tear it down. I have never heard of our trading psychology as divorce from our our "other" psychology.
I used the term in the title who only as a short form of "our psychology and its impacts on our trading" - which seemed rather long for a title.
Certainly we bring ourselves into the trading room - including our beliefs, attitudes our habits. How could we not?
The more relevant question is identifying those parts of ourselves that are hampering our trading success.
Something I've recently started to do.. When thinking about taking a trade I'll ask myself if I'd be happy to take this trade 100 times. If my answer is yes, I just take it and don't worry about the rest.
This has helped me pull the trigger when I believe I'm seeing a high probability opportunity.
