Support for the talking cure

Reasearch seems to be confirming what we kind of know from reflection on our own and others' experience: that talking about our feelings that can help us to bring them into a better relationship with the rest of our life. It's written about briefly here: Cross Words: Talking About Bad Feelings Helps Control Them | Wired Science from Wired.com and the headline summary: "Naming feelings takes some of the emotional impact out of them by engaging a brain region that aids self-control, according to new research.". The downside is that it also downsizes happy feelings too. I wonder whether that could relate to using tongues as a praise language; It would seem that perhaps glossolalia doesn't engage the relevant bit of the brain identified in this research and so the heightened feelings associated are not down-played (and this bit of research seems to indicate it doesn't engage those parts of the brain). On the other hand what about expressing praise corporately? I would say, from observation (and I have in mind both religious and secular gatherings) that the corporate dimension actually increases the sense of euphoria.
