This is a popular option if you have difficulty writing and cannot express your feelings verbally. In these cases, a vent book can help. It can help them to process their feelings, and can help them process the stress. Whether or not you decide to create a video with a vent book, you can use it to share your feelings with friends and family. 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.” It starts with a body being found on Crowpoint, which is an eerie bit of beach that points into the torrid Torrent estuary and of course the team have to work out who the murderer is.’

My Vent Books are structured venting journals to offload your overthinking mind and help get a better nights sleep. After writing down your busy brain and mind dump it into your book to unwind and relax more.. you can build a better daily resilience and become more aware of yourself and your emotions/feelings.So, while venting may be good for building supportive relationships and feel good in the moment, it’s not enough to help us through. If others simply listen and empathize, they may inadvertently extend our emotional upset. The dark side of venting 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. Sharing our feelings also provides an opportunity to gain insight into what’s causing our difficult feelings and avert future upsets. Sometimes, just verbalizing what’s bothering us to another person helps to clarify the situation and name the emotions involved. Or, if we get caught in emotional whirlwinds, our confidants can provide new perspectives and offer sound advice, says Kross. 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.

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.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/? Hits: 31 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. Your novels always have such a strong sense of place, what made you choose North Devon for this series?

Repeatedly venting over and over and over again, can create friction in social relationships,” says Kross. “There’s often a limit to how much listeners, your friends, can actually hear.” Ann: ‘The new series features Inspector Detective Matthew Venn but I hope it will be more of an ensemble piece so we find out a little bit more about his colleagues, Jen Rafferty, who’s a scouser who has escaped an abusive marriage and moved down to North Devon, and very much local boy Ross May. For many years, psychologists believed that dark emotions, like anger, needed to be released physically. 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. 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.”

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. Gold standard … William Whitfield’s Corinthian column in Paternoster Square. Photograph: Beatrice Cox

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. 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. Be careful around online venting. While sharing our emotions online can help us feel better in the moment and identify supportive allies, results can be mixed. For one thing, negative emotions easily spread online, which may create a herd mentality, resulting in bullying or trolling—especially if you identify a particular person as responsible for your feelings. While it’s unclear if venting online is an overall good or bad thing, it may not help you gain the perspective you need to move forward. Do you know yet what will happen to Matthew Venn through the course of the series or do you let his journey unravel as you write? Aura survived Hell. That's not an exaggeration. A journey through the Underworld was necessary to rescue a reformed Titan.

The dark side of venting

While the City has often opted to camouflage its flues, across the river architects have been allowed to let rip. Lambeth is particularly fertile ground for vent-spotters, with a range of bold brutalist shafts bursting from the streets. One local favourite is the Camberwell Submarine, an enigmatic chimney-topped bunker that looks like something left over from the cold war. It was designed by borough architects Michael Luffingham and Bill Jacoby in the 1970s, as ventilation for an underground boiler room for the nearby housing estates; but its concrete chimneys were recently extended by a whopping four metres, making it an even more surreal sight to stumble across (if now a little less like a submarine and more like an underground crematorium). People are going to differ, depending on what they’re dealing with, how intense their experiences are,” he says. “Being sensitive to the fact that some people may need more time before they’re ready to transition from venting to thinking is really important.” Skillful venting The multiple layers of mouldings and twiddly details of classical architecture have proved useful for such deception, providing handy hiding places for grilles, vents and flues. When the Victoria Line was being constructed in the 1960s, residents of Gibson Square in Islington were horrified by the prospect of a concrete ventilation shaft erupting through their neat lawn. After a vocal campaign, classical architects Raymond Erith and Quinlan Terry were hired to provide a decorous disguise for the shaft, crafting a strange miniature temple topped with a cage-like dome, and a frieze appropriately derived from the Tower of the Winds in Athens. Ann: ‘I like really complex locations, places that hit you and strike you. Places that have different communities within them. I grew up in North Devon so I know it quite well and I like that mix of cosiness – we think of Devon as having cream teas and thatched cottages and there is a little bit of that about it but there’s more rugged and left behind than people realise and because it has Ilfracombe, an old-fashioned seaside town, with big hotels and guest houses, they’ve now become hostels for the homeless, places where drifters and transients come and go and I like very much that mix of different people.’ Read.
