> feelings are valid

This isn't a New Age commune. We are trying to work out a strategy to end his spiral of ruminating on ruminating.

>We are organic machines

This tendency to 'biologise' is a distraction. The guy has a certain thought-structure that he needs to escape. We can talk about biological structures and chemical processes for ever, but he actually wants to get stuff done. I am telling him a method, a short circuit, that works on those suffering from stiff, immature thought dynamics.

EDIT:

I recommend a read of David Shapiro's 'Autonomy and Rigid Character'. This will allow you to see the extraordinary damage from believing that all feelings are valid. Damaging pathologies are created by the habituation of actions that lead to a rigid character.
