3. I don't know the name of the full course of therapy, I just know the one practice.

But you might be right. It seems by taking the time to defer the "immediacy" of the reaction, you have both a chance to reveal your anger (or other negative emotional reaction) to yourself in the terms you would have otherwise used, while at the same time offering you the ability to take a step back from it and come to terms with it more reasonably than the reaction would otherwise allow.
