ICTChris Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) 'Rage rituals' have been getting attention on social media, with the following post suggesting that they are becoming increasingly popular with women. These things have been around for many years - primal scream therapy in the 1960s being a very well known example. The truth is that there is little evidence that any of these things works in the sense of reliably improving anyone's life. There is a persistent cultural meme that it's healthy to let it all out but there is evidence that doing this actually increases feelings of anger and aggression. Have any P&Bers ever taken part in a rage ritual? Which P&Bers would most beneift from attending a rage ritual?

The Moonster Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I think this all sounds like bollocks but I do think I would enjoy one of those Wreck It places where they give you a safety visor and a sledgehammer and let you smash up old fridges. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any P&Bers ever taken part in a rage ritual? There's a large scale session every 2nd Saturday somewhere in the Govan area, I'm sure?. Been going on for decades and none of the participants seem to be getting any better, and as the evidence suggests, they seem to actually get perpetually worse. Lot of shite imo and definitely would not attend. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like doing stuff like that as well. Last year I dismantled our garden shed, a lot of which involved smashing it up with a sledgehammer but it wasn't done in an angry way, it was more like a kind of big puzzle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Diamond For Me Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Rage Ritual? Sounds like an early Slayer live bootleg or something. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 There was a lot of new energy in the room, and some of it was just so Rainbow Rhythms, and some of it was just so not Rainbow Rhythms. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The West of Scotland male way of dealing with this shit is obviously best. Suppress all emotion until you die of a massive heart attack at 59. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 When I was a teenager, I remember BBC2 showing a late-night documentary about one of these groups for the wealthy and credulous on some tropical island. After a lot of yakking about inner goddesses they'd strip off and scream at each other in a big circle before collapsing into a massive dogpile with what looked suspiciously like post-orgasmic bliss written all over everyone's faces. While it does sound like something pursuant to my interests, it's got to be a no from me, Clive. However, BBC2 followed it up with This is Spinal Tap, and if a nudie new-age group could follow up their orgy with a first viewing of a similarly excellent film, I'd be prepared to serve drinks, at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky you, the good ‘ol Southern way seems to be several glasses of cheap red and then battering the spouse, who then take it out on the kids…‘Murica!
