This is exactly right. In a previous role, there were 3 of us that often went to lunch to "let it out," "get it off our chests," and sometimes we had resolutions and sometimes we were simply venting. When my best friend and I were together, I would often say that I just need to say things out loud and process. Again, sometimes there were solutions and other times, I was able to just let go of the energy. Journaling helps as well because for me, it is the act of releasing this frustration and then I can come back a few days later. Great article.
