That's great it works for you. I am not sure if it would also work for me though. Normally when I express my anger that way (or the similar ways), it would be worse and I would be angrier than before.

LOL That's great Anton. So you hit someone else when angry with your husband? Who is usually be the victim to channelize your anger? Do you find random people or do you have certain volunteers for the purpose?

Deep breathings usually help a bit, but it doesn't get me completely relieved from the bad feeling. I would usually take my bike and ride it around till I get relieved.

Actually it's much better if no one hurt and no pillow hurt either. I have to congrat you for having a great life, that you don't have anything to be angry with anymore. How did you cope with your anger in the past?

Sometimes hitting the pillow helps but most often it doesn't. I usually get relief when the issue is settled. I need to be proved wrong or right for me to calm down.

That's great, Sheila. If you are good in verbal communication, you would have no issue expressing yourself and asserting your needs clearly. No need to hit pillows then.

It is an old, safe yet rather stupid way of channelizing your anger. I think not only kids but also some adults applying the method. Do you hit pillows when you get angry? Does it work? Do you feel relieved after that?
