This pillow is designed just to shout but really relieves stress?

When was the last time you called on the top of the lungs?

Having out a cry can be cathartic and, according to defenders, can also relieve stress, relax muscle tension and increase your energy.

But unless you live in the middle of the NO -there are not many opportunities to leave -to go seriously without looking foolish, worrying about the neighbors and jeopardizing.

That is why Powershut invented Shootlet, a “portable voice suppression device”, that is, a small pillow made with high density-memory foam-to give everyone a way out for their most puzzled wishes to shout.

According to the brand, the cry is like a stress ball, but you call it instead of strange. The idea is that shouts have many benefits to relieve stress and lower stress also means general health.

The company says Shouting is an “instantaneous mood”, causing the release of endorphins, reducing feelings such as irritability and despair and relaxed muscles.

The science about it is light, but the “therapy screaming”, also called Therapy Primal Scream, is, in fact, one thing. The psychotherapist Dr. Arthur Janov was invented in the 1970’s, which argued that he could help with a repressed children’s trauma. (Also treated John Lennon and Yoko Ono.)

More recently, “Rage Rooms” have appeared to give people the opportunity to get their feelings, including shouts.

“ The idea of ​​catharsis is very popular and the anger rooms are related to the idea of ​​“ dropping the steam, ” the Dr. Sarita Robinson, the Deputy Director of Psychology and Computer Science at the University of the United Kingdom Central Kingdom, told The Independent. “ We feel intuitively that the liberation of our anger should help us achieve a sense of balance and allows us to regulate our emotions. ”

But, he said, the investigation is mixed.

“In some cases, acting aggressively to release negative emotions can make us feel worse. In fact, through a” anger room “, you could condition -you are aggressive next time you feel stressed, angry or frustrated.”

Dr. Rebecca Semmens-Wheeler, a senior professor of psychology at the University of the city of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, also calls for shouting for a relief of stress, although he does not write it completely.

)[It] It is the opposite of what you do with things like meditation or yoga, which usually activates the parasympathetic nervous system that helps you slow down, take stock, let the prefrontal cortex again get some glucose … and helps us to make better decisions, “he told The Guardian.

“I am quite skeptical of potential benefits, especially in the long term. [But] If you want to do it to laugh, why not? Maybe you’ll feel good for a few minutes. “

So do you really work? New York Post’s Scream Queens (and King) tested it.

Scream Therapy in Action

Scream After Scream, the mood of the post was slightly shameless, with Wellness journalist McKenzie Beard, admitting that he felt “a little silly”, but “quite happy” after leaving.

The publisher of life social media, she Zeiler, said that she had a “launch” after being dirty her own cry on her pillow, while Wellness journalist Diana Bruk denounced less stress immediately afterwards, comparing it with a mini yoga session.

“I feel a little strange, but I thought I would feel more uncomfortable,” said entertainment journalist Eric Todisco, who added that “things had to go out that they just expected to leave.”

Lifestyle journalist Marissa Motozzo was also surprised to make her feel much better.

And for the removal of the voice?

The seven shouts, and the film’s crew, were surprised that the pillows really cushioned the noise, including compared to a regular pillow.

“I feel like I could call my room and my roommates would not think they were killed,” the Adriana Diaz lifestyle reporter joked.

“I could probably do it in my apartment without the people calling the police,” added Bruk.

“She cushioned the noise,” said Heather Harkins social networks publisher. “So I guess if I wanted to cry for myself I could.”

If you want to try it for yourself, the shootlet is sold for $ 29.99, but the NYPost code entry will get $ 5 discount on the box.
