Meanwhile the Metropolitan Police Forensic Science Laboratory, at 109 Lambeth Road, may be unsigned, but it makes its presence known with a striking concrete vent for its own emergency substation, providing “full electrical resilience” in the case of a power cut. It is of a similar style to Victoria Line shaft up the road where, amid the car crash of ugly towers currently rising around Vauxhall station, this chiselled corduroy concrete wedge holds its own, jutting from the street corner with a powerful angular presence, like a piece of the Barbican gone astray. (The Barbican itself is no stranger to inventive vents, featuring a curious concrete spiral based on the Fibonacci sequence.) However, Kross doesn’t advocate for that. Instead, he says, there’s an art to being a listener. It takes a combination of empathy or sympathy—and waiting for the right moment before offering perspective. Aura survived Hell. That's not an exaggeration. A journey through the Underworld was necessary to rescue a reformed Titan.

Still, all in all, Kross says venting is a good thing, helping us cope. If we can get past the letting off steam part, we can feel better in the long run and keep our relationships strong, too.Consider the type of journal that you will use. A spiral-bound notebook, a lined notebook, or a composition book are good options if you plan on writing a lot. If you’d like to draw and express yourself, consider using a sketchbook. You should choose a typeface that is suitable for both drawing and writing. You can use a variety of materials, including paper that will be resistant to stains and abrasions. This book is pretty much a rant book, where I talk about things that are bothering or things that I'm excited about, but nobody can listen. If you know me irl, pretend that this never existed. There's a good reason why I don't tell people, that I know, my problems. Language: English Words: 985 Chapters: 2/?

For some time, people who worked with trauma victims encouraged them to “debrief” afterward, having them talk through what happened to them to ward off post-traumatic stress. But a randomized controlled study found that this didn’t help much, likely because debriefing doesn’t help distance people from their trauma. Similarly, students who vented their anxiety after 9/11 suffered from more anxiety up to four months later than those who didn’t. As the study authors write, their “focus on and venting of emotions was found to be uniquely predictive of longer-term anxiety.” The same is true of grief or anxiety following trauma. While we should of course seek support from those around us during difficult times of loss and pain, if we simply relive our experience without finding some way to soothe ourselves or find meaning, it could extend our suffering. Gold standard … William Whitfield’s Corinthian column in Paternoster Square.

This led to a movement to “let it all out,” with psychologists literally telling people to hit soft objects, like pillows or punching bags, to release pent-up feelings.

This can also improve mood, lower blood pressure and maybe even help with fewer stress – related doctor visits! Consider to whom you vent. Before venting to someone, ask yourself, “Did this person really help me the last time I talked to them, or did they just make me feel worse?” If someone is there for you, but doesn’t tend to broaden your perspective, you may just get more stirred up emotionally. Being more deliberate about who you vent to could help you in the long run. The Sewer Gas Destructor Lamp, to give the ingenious device its proper patented name, was invented by Birmingham engineer Joseph Webb in 1895, and it still serves the same purpose today. As a plaque explains, it burns off residual biogas from Joseph Bazalgette’s great Victorian sewer, which runs beneath the Victoria Embankment at the bottom of the lane. It is the last surviving sewer-powered streetlamp in London, but it is one of many such curious vents, shafts and funnels scattered across the city, servicing the capital’s underground workings in all manner of unlikely disguises, now brought together in a fascinating gazetteer, titled Inventive Vents. Nico di Angelo has never been a 'people' person. Spending 70 years in the cursed Lotus Casino probably didn't help. Losing his sister at 10 didn't help, either. He'd been trapped in the Underworld before. He survived on pomegranate seeds and sheer will. You can also create a video using the same hashtag.

Whether we need to confront someone who’s abusing us, hide to avoid danger, or seek comfort from friends, feelings like anger, fear, and sadness help us prepare to meet the moment.

Why we vent

We want to connect with other people who can help validate what we’re going through, and venting really does a pretty good job at fulfilling that need,” says researcher Ethan Kross, author of the book Chatter. “It feels good to know there’s someone there to rely on who cares enough to take time to listen.” I know that I am guilty of wanting someone to listen to me when I’m upset—and not wanting advice right off the bat. If I’m in the midst of pain, trying to talk me out of my feelings or to offer pat solutions seems insensitive or even patronizing. A vent book is a type of journal that allows users to vent their emotions through drawings. Some people find venting healthy while others find it toxic, and this type of writing creates a cycle of resentment and significant anger. Venting is not healthy. There are many ways to vent that aren’t toxic. Here are some ideas for vent books:
