According to NBC News, in
Chicago, there is a place called “Anger Rooms,” where guests can unleash their
anger by smashing and destroying objects like glass or a TV. Of course, you
have to pay a fee for that. The room can also be set up to look like an office
or a kitchen so that guests can experience this
one-of-a-kind therapeutic experience to release their frustrations.
Donna Alexander, the creator of the Anger Room, first thought
of the idea as a teenager living in Chicago, She
said that after she had witnessed domestic violence and fights at school as a
teenager, she wanted to create a space where anyone can lash out without
serious consequences.
The 30-minute session in the Anger Room, where you could literally destroy
everything in the room in order to de-stress yourself is not a therapy; it is absurdity. The reason is that it may de-stress
you during that session, but it does not address the stress issue itself, which
is the origin of your problem. So, what would you do the next time you find
yourself in a similar stressful situation—destroying your own room like you did
before? Stress comes from the ego-self. Get rid of your ego, and there will be
no stress.
