The past couple of years have been stressful and heavy for everyone. And everyday disappointments can start to build on you.
Getting all the anger, frustration, fear, and guilt out of your system is important. Otherwise, these negative emotions will manifest in physical aggression or mental health problems.
Destruction therapy in rage rooms has been found to help relieve pent-up energy. Plus, it’s fun and will get your mind off the things that are stressing you.

Conclusion
We are often told to suck it up when angry, stressed, frustrated, insecure, or sad. Sometimes we are told to go to therapy, which can be pretty costly, not to mention some people don’t believe in it.
Destruction therapy is a great alternative for releasing negative emotions while having fun.
Of course, rage rooms are not a replacement for actual therapy. And if fun, raging activities are not helping you de-stress, it would be best to seek professional help.
