Emotional catharsis: a space to complain Emotional catharsis

Emotional catharsis is a concept that comes from psychoanalysis, like so many other concepts in psychology . The idea, to understand it a little better and in a close way, is to expel "outside" emotions, feelings or thoughts, that at some point create conflict, discomfort, and thus improve.

Emotional catharsis can be applied in a wide range of different options, from real traumatic events in a person to simple complaints of our day to day.

Speaking in Christian, and leaving a bit aside psychological terminology aside, when you complain or protest, and there is someone who listens to you, it helps you so that the negative emotions caused by the facts of which you complain will not cause you any prejudice if you repress them.

Emotional catharsis a space to complain Emotional catharsis

This does not mean that you should be up all day complaining about everything and everyone. There are norms of citizenship, education, coexistence that agree to be respected. But you have to recognize that from time to time, a good emotional catharsis comes along. And allow me the license, but the person who best practices this catharsis of my environment is my wife; picks up the phone and raves for a while, then thanks me and comes phenomenally.

Apart from this anecdote, what I want with this article today, unscientific and psychological, but closer to our day to day reality, is that you practice and encourage you to complain about something that gets you out of your squares.

I leave you an ideal space in which we can all participate, is perfectly anonymous (in case someone needs privacy) and just write it. The mere fact of writing it is going to help you in something. You can complain about the boss, the couple, the bank, the crisis and the politicians, your football team, lack of work, a colleague, bus schedules ... of current issues or past issues, or future, whatever comes to you. All I ask is that there be education and elegance in the complaints.

Encourage, release what bothers you, we will all be listeners to read and practice emotional catharsis.

Space for complaints

Leave your complaint below by filling out the comment form and giving it to send. Everything is anonymous and your email and your data will not be archived.

I start myself to give an example:

I'm tired of the administration passing the time limits on ... there. We all have to meet deadlines when they demand something, but as it is something in our favor, it does not matter, and the answer from the poor official on duty when you complain (that he is not guilty) is always the same : "You know, the deadlines are to skip them". And I must repress myself, but now I take advantage of this space to say it, and by the way I get a little bit free.
