Noun 1. The process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions. 2. Purgation. If you are going through domestic abuse, you might feel as though you have no one to talk to. Some women who are facing abuse may fear that if they talked to someone, they wouldn’t believe them or they wouldn’t understand them. Others simply feel that they have no one they can trust to talk to. However, expressing our emotions and sharing our thoughts can be extremely useful as it helps us achieve a sense of relief. As humans, we are social beings and therefore have the need to share our feelings with others, especially when we are going through rough situations. This place is created for those of you who want to write down your thoughts, share what you are going through, express your emotions and talk about your feelings. We named it the Catharsis Room because it offers you the chance to have some relief after getting everything off your chest. You can write anything you like in the Catharsis Form, your message can be as brief or as long as you want to, and you will then have the choice to have it published here completely ANONYMOUSLY by clicking on the ‘Submit’ button. If you choose to do so, your message will be published after one of our moderators approves it. We reassure you that your name will not be published, and that we do not keep or publish e-mail addresses.
