It seems that Buddhists are a step ahead of the game:
"One strategy particularly struck me: if you’re feeling a negative emotion, you can work to reduce it by labeling it in one or two words. Note, however, that thinking or talking at length about the emotional state tends to intensify it — while simply observing and labeling it helps to quell it."

I'm glad that meditation techniques are being more widely applied, but I sort of wish credit was given where it's due.
What do you think of the "secularization" of meditation, as also found in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and the like?
