Sue delves into the topic of releasing stress, anger, and frustration through primal therapy techniques. 

Drawing from personal experiences with her children and a recent stressful morning, Sue discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of releasing emotions through techniques like screaming into a pillow. She highlights the importance of understanding one's emotional intelligence and reactions to avoid escalating negative emotions. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Stress, anger, and frustration can be overwhelming emotions, but it's essential to acknowledge and address them in a healthy way.

Primal therapy, such as screaming into a pillow, may provide temporary relief by releasing endorphins, but it may not be effective for deep emotional issues.

Engaging in rage or venting sessions can trigger the sympathetic nervous system, leading to fight or flight responses and potentially escalating negative emotions.

It's crucial to assess how venting anger impacts your emotional state; prolonged venting can exacerbate feelings of anger and frustration.

Seeking support from a trained therapist is recommended for addressing underlying anger issues and developing effective coping strategies for achieving calm.

BEST MOMENTS

"You see when you scream and express anger and frustration and start punching and lashing out you're triggering your sympathetic nervous system." 

"They found in their studies that some people actually became more aggressive by using rage rooms." 

"You've got to speak to a therapist for those sorts of things and maybe you need to deal with some bigger anger issues."
