A good family friend has been suffering with severe depression for years and is finally seeking therapy, wanting to do it without pills. She shared with us that she is unable to resolve some childhood traumas until she confronts them head on (I guess instead of minimizing, drinking too much and trying to simply forget they ever happened). Her therapist has recommended working herself up into a full-on rage while visualizing her tormentors. Sort of a "work through it" scenario, I think. It's supposed to be very therapeutic.
Problem for her is that she has nowhere to get violently and noisily angry in her Beaverton condo.
I've seen various things on TV where people go and pay for the opportunity to smash stuff. Basically, explode and work out on inanimate objects, while picturing whatever/whomever they want to as the target. Baseball bats, sledge hammers, safety goggles, ear protection, crazy rage.
I looked up one place on Vancouver WA but haven't raised them on the phone yet. Any other places I might recommend to her closer to Portland/Beaverton? Hell, I might go too.
