Why Venting Doesn’t Help You Deal with Anger | Jennifer Parlamis | TED

In this TED talk, Jennifer Parlamis shares that activities which reduce your physiological arousal can help reduce anger. These include things like meditation, deep breathing, and yoga (11:48).

Conversely, physiologically arousing activities, such as verbal venting, or even running, working out, or screaming into a pillow, do not decrease anger (11:14, 11:31).
