Generally, for psychological relief, techniques aimed at replacing negative emotions with positive ones are used. Meditation is widely employed for these purposes, although watching a good family movie can also help.
In psychotherapy, there is also treatment using the catharsis technique, which involves reacting to negative experiences. This includes 'poison pen therapy', where the patient writes letters expressing grievances towards those whom they believe have treated them unfairly, but does not send them.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have created 'cathartic objects' that are designed to be hit, poked, and even cursed at.
One of the objects looks like an ordinary black couch cushion, but it is meant to be struck with sharp objects. After being stabbed, it begins to tremble and continues to shake until the user removes all the needles.
