How often we want to scream! From fatigue, from resentment, from anger.
Screaming is a great way to release excess tension and bad emotions. Screaming can even reduce pain. And it's been proven.
At the same time, trying to suppress strong emotions that provoke screaming is also dangerous. This greatly affects not only the moral state, but also the cardiovascular and digestive systems.
But shouting is not accepted in modern society. It is ugly and such display of emotions in public places may even be sanctioned.
That's why scream clubs were created.
What are scream clubs
Many of us wish sometimes we could just stop and scream. And now you have the opportunity to do just that.
Not too long ago there was a trend for scream clubs. Especially for those who want to release accumulated stress in a natural and effective way.
The trend originated back in Chicago, where a breathing gymnastics coach would gather people on the Lake Michigan waterfront to shout together.
In Britain, this trend was started by Mona Sharif, who decided to get rid of a grudge against her brother through screaming. She took a friend and went into the woods. And there she had a good cry.
Mona realized that she wasn't the only one who could benefit from such therapy. So the next time she posted an invitation on social media to shout with her. To her surprise, as many as 600 people responded to her ad.
Their synchronized screaming lasted almost 10 minutes. Can you imagine the power!
In Russia, such an experiment was attempted by Artem Khadunkin from St. Petersburg. But as soon as there were too many people willing to shout, bureaucracy intervened. Every meeting of like-minded shouters had to be coordinated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Where to scream legally
If you are fed up with everything and urgently need to vent your emotions, go to the woods. This is one of the most logical places to scream.
But it's best to get away from people, or you might scare them.
A great place to yell is a club or a rock concert. The music is so loud that no one will hear you scream. You can shout your favorite songs at the top of your lungs or just scream.
Another good place to yell is the car. The main thing is that it should have good noise insulation. Otherwise you will look extremely strange, especially in the middle of the city.
Scary rides can also shake you out of everything. For example, after a roller coaster, almost any problem seems insignificant.
How else to relieve the tension
Nowadays, there are a huge number of options all over the world to get rid of stress and relieve excess tension. Let's look at the most popular and radical of them.
| way | pros | disadvantages |

Screaming can help both adults and teenagers to release stress and accumulated emotions. The main thing is not to experiment in public places, it is better to go far away and shout at your own pleasure.
