      or any meditation technique/speech therapy.

      christian monks used to do the same. i think it was called “confession” or something when you talked about things that bothered you with somebody who was reasonably intelligent in a private context.

      i guess it really helped and might have been the modern equivalent of talking to a therapist.

        also: praying. It’s basically meditation, depending on your practice.

        You’re quietly going through your thoughts and, well, meditate on them. Lots of good ideas and solutions can come from that alone
