BLAH Therapy: Are you a listener or a venter?
Link to May 2 World of Psychology post, "Feel Like Venting to a Complete Stranger? Try BlahTherapy.com".
Excerpt: There’s no question about it — airing a complaint and getting it off of your chest can be relieving. Letting a secret or a complaint sit inside of us can hurt.
The word “vent” calls forth images of air, smoke, or steam escaping through an opening from a confined area — like carbonation from a soda bottle. It’s no surprise, then, that we describe ourselves as feeling “bottled up” when we’ve got something major to vent.
And now there’s a new way to do it online at blahtherapy.com.
BLAH Therapy’s premise is simple — it’s a chat website designed to let you twist that proverbial soda bottle lid anonymously and seek a release of pent-up steam.
After returning home from driving Eddie to Stevens Point, Retiring Guy enjoyed a glass of red wine while listening to the 40's on 4 on satellite radio. He's feeling very mellow right now. No need to vent.
