The Icy Canada team talked to Ronnie Adamowicz, Psychotherapist, RonnieAdamowicz, about rage rooms benefits to cope with with stress and anxiety. Here is what he said:
“Rage rooms, from my perspective as a psychotherapist and based on the experiences conveyed by some of my clients, serve as an unconventional yet potent means of stress and anxiety alleviation.
The primary efficacy of these spaces lies in their ability to provide a physically safe and emotionally cathartic outlet for the expression of pent-up frustrations and feelings.
The act of breaking objects in a controlled environment allows individuals to externalize their internal emotions in a manner that is both tangible and immediate, which can be particularly therapeutic for those who may struggle with more traditional forms of emotional expression.
Furthermore, in terms of fitting into broader discussions about mental health and alternative therapeutic practices, rage rooms highlight the ongoing evolution of our understanding and approaches to mental wellness.
They underscore the necessity of acknowledging and accommodating diverse coping mechanisms and therapeutic needs.
By offering an alternative to conventional talk therapy, rage rooms expand the repertoire of available mental health resources, catering to individuals who might benefit from more kinetic or experiential forms of expression.
This inclusivity and adaptability in therapeutic practices are crucial for addressing the multifaceted nature of mental health in our society.”

We interviewed Bayu Prihandito, Founder, Psychology Consultant, and Life Coach for Men, Life Architekture, on alternative therapeutic practices to deal with emotional and professional issues. Here is what he had to say:
“I talked to a colleague recently who included a rage room as part of their recent team-building retreat, and having heard his arguments for doing so, I’m strongly considering integrating this into our next team-building event as well.
Working in talent acquisition, or any industry that requires direct interaction with customers or clients, means you need to have tight emotional control within your workplace.
Even when customers are upset or lash out, you can’t afford to let yourself respond in kind. It can be very trying and exhausting to hold in frustration or maintain your control on a continuous basis, and having an outlet like a rage room can be an excellent release for all that negativity.
Having permission to rage can be a very beneficial thing in other situations, too. I’ve started recommending rage rooms to candidates who are engaged in a frustrating job search, for instance, or to people who have recently been laid off or terminated.
In these cases, using a rage room isn’t just about releasing your frustration, though that’s a very useful thing in its own right.
This also gives you a chance to fully feel and process your emotions about your career, in a safe, judgment-free space.
It’s somewhere you can call your old boss all the bad names you’ve been keeping in your head, or can take a literal sledgehammer to your feelings of imposter syndrome, inadequacy, or anxiety.
By allowing this negativity out instead of holding it in, you give yourself the freedom to face and push through those feelings, which can often be the first step in letting them go so you can move forward with a more positive mindset.”
