Catharsis

[kidd]

What do you think of the application of Catharsis method in emotional well being?

Catharsis means purging or cleansing.

In the field of psychology, Catharsis technique is letting your emotions out. Punch a punching bag, cry, scream etc.

How helpful is it? Do you think catharsis is good for emotional health or you get addicted to it and your outburst will become more frequent?

Catharsis came into popular culture as the beneficial effect talking during therapy had on Freud's patients. It pretty much just denotes talking about your problems and feeling better about it.
In which case, dealing with your emotions is always better than not.

I think catharsis therapy need to be handled carefully. You not only need to let the patient talk/vent but also need to guide him on how to handle future emotional situation and the current one.

The way Freud did it was to just let his patients talk about their past. It's also been called arm chair therapy and whatever's on their mind.
