Controlled venting is kind of being in control isn't it? I do get it though. The fear and worry is real enough.
Once a long time ago when I was hospitalized for DID treatment one of the therapists said she had gone though some really hard times, to get rid of her frustrations and anxiety she took a bunch of old breakables outside and threw them at a brick wall. Then later swept it all up and threw it away, she claimed it made her feel better. I've heard things like that help some people. I'm not one of them though. That same program wanted me to hit various stuff, that's not for me. I prefer art as an expression of release. Clay is so great!

I've felt that volcano building up before and my normal stuff wasn't working so I did set up to throw breakables and it did feel amazing. Didn't solve my problems but I felt better.
