Catharsis is choosing the experiences that cause our pain to rise to the surface of our consciousness so it can be released.

Some ways of achieving this are:

• Talking about our feelings.
• Self expression through artwork, dance, music, writing, such as keeping a journal, etc.
• Confronting painful situations e.g. visiting a friend with a new baby.

"I found that writing about my pain took the sting out of the memory." Sandra

Catharsis is like opening a relief valve to allow pressure to escape, leaving the level of remaining feelings more comfortable to live with.
