For some, screaming is a form of therapy.\u00a0 I think the last time I screamed was when my daughter tried to get me to hold her hamster.\u00a0 I’m not even kidding.\u00a0 The idea of that little rodent, as cute as she is, crawling on me makes me scream for help.<\/p>\n

In Iceland, they are hoping you will share your scream.\u00a0 Starting today, you can record a scream, wail, or shriek on the dedicated “Let It Out” site and send it to Iceland, literally, where it will be played on speakers dropped in locations like the black sand beaches.<\/p>\n

It might sound strange, the Iceland tourism board stunt<\/a> is based on actual psychology, known as primal therapy.<\/p>\n

“Screaming out frustrations or anxiety can offer a sense of relief and release when the yelling stops.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

To get the most out of your scream, “mentally step back, way back, to when you were an infant\u2014you’ll want to embrace that level of wailing and scream from your diaphragm, from your gut, rather than from your throat…. Then, before you let out a proper scream, you’ll want to think about why you’re doing it. Yes, you may be angry and frustrated\u2014it’s hard not to be under today’s circumstances\u2014but your scream needs to come from a more intentional place.\u00a0 And this will help you let go and help you move on and move out of lockdown in a healthy way.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
