Where in the Meditations are these techniques listed?

[@DonaldRobertson]

Selections of the techniques described in this chapter are mentioned many times throughout The Meditations but, in particular, in Meditations 11.18, Marcus provides a more comprehensive of ten distinct cognitive strategies for coping with anger, which he calls "Gifts from Apollo (the god of healing) and his Muses" - this is discussed in a lot more detail, along with other sources, in How to Think Like a Roman Emperor.
