Arguably, psychodynamic therapy is a form of your described Intronet. It's the practice of reflecting on things already present (memories, repeated thoughts, patterns of behavior, even dreams at times) and hypothesizing insightful connections. It doesn't emphasize the acquisition of new knowledge from outside sources.

Many have discarded psychodynamic and other long form therapies for practical reasons (expense, indefinite time commitment), but perhaps regular time slots for forming connections by exploring inwards — rather than from new information from the world — is the key to achieving balance.

Mindfulness, meditation, and so on are also included in this. Psychodynamic therapy happens to offer a verbal approach.
