This Kirk talk was reminded to me from a previous post.
There is a definite theme here. Possibly against some of the perceived nullifying effects of old school psychotherapy?
For some reason, though, in my head it happened in TOS and Kirk was pretty much talking to himself, resisting effects of a creature that had come onboard and was removing all psychological trauma of the crew. Kirk was the last. It was one of those episode where Spock turns into a hippy.
Can anyone confirm this?

Peter Graves: – London Philharmonic?
Lee Van Cleef: – It’s Venus.
Peter Graves: – Huh?
Lee Van Cleef: – Venus.
Peter Graves: – Why not? We’ve bounced signals off the Moon surface, there’s no reason that Venus shouldn’t radiate impulses.
Lee Van Cleef: – No, I don’t mean the static. Can’t you hear it; the other thing?
Peter Graves: – What other thing?
Lee Van Cleef: – Listen to it, Paul. Listen to the voice.
