OK. once more into the breech...

What you say above is cargo cult science, like a bamboo radio antenna.
It might look like it could work, but it doesn't.

If you doubt me, take five minutes to research the techniques used by
anger-management specialists. They don't tell their clients to vent
their spleens. They teach them to use relaxation techniques and control
their reaction to whatever triggers their anger.

Here are just a few links:

http://www.apa.org/topics/controlanger.html
http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/MH/00102.html

There are any number of books and other resources that address this
topic, and they all say the same thing.
