De-Stress and
More The
Benefits of
Venting and
Expressing
Anger There are
many benefits of
venting and Ben
Munoz and Scott
Ornrsquos desire to
develop a dedicated
space to vent spurred
on the creation of
Benrsquos Friends
For some it might be
difficult to read
however for the
venter venting is one
way to let go and
release some of his
or her angry-energy
surrounding the rare
illness and leaves
him or her room for
new energy
According to one
article ldquoAnger can be
harmful or helpful
depending upon how
it is expressedrdquo
Expressing
angerwriting in a
Benrsquos Friends
community is
considered helpful
On the other hand
one option for dealing
with anger is to
suppress it however
suppressing such
anger can lead to
many difficulties
including the
disruption of
relationships and the
negative impact on
the ability to think
Clearly venting the
anger is preferred
over suppressing the
anger
Benefits of venting
include
bullVenting releases the
often-times negative
emotion of anger
from the venter to
ldquopaperrdquo freeing up
ldquohead spacerdquo to focus
on other things
bullldquoSuppressed anger
can be an underlying
cause of anxiety and
depressionrdquo
according to
Cleveland
Clinics Managing
Anger article
Excessive bouts of
anger that can
otherwise lead to
depression or heart-
attack
(httpdrugtoolscare
markcomtopicdepa
nger) are released
and contained
constructively
bullWhereas ldquothe price
of anger is isolationrdquo
for many and
ldquofriendships are
distantrdquo or severed
venting in a
community like Benrsquos
Friends can combat
that feeling of
loneliness
When faced with a
frustration according
to one article from
Health and Fitness
Magazine the venter
knows that things
could be worse
however he or she
isnrsquot necessarily
looking for advice or
a solution to his or
her ldquoproblemrdquo
Rather he or she is
looking for a friend to
listen with someone
ldquolisteningrdquo and
responding the
venter feels valued
