Psychologists have introduced a revolutionary new therapy concept to help employees manage their emotions in a healthy way.
"Repressurised Catharsis" was introduced this week at a corporate mindfulness seminar in Melbourne. It works by screaming into a mason jar, sealing it, and handing it to their boss without saying a word.
“Studies show that 92% of workplace stress originates from the inability to express emotions without getting immediately fired,” said Dr Klatz told The Bendigo Standard.“ Also, it’s dishwasher-safe.”
Employees are encouraged to whisper passive-aggressive phrases through the jar, which slowly builds in intensity until they are fully screaming while maintaining eye contact with the corporate values poster.
Dr Klatz said "You can explode in your manager's office for screwing up the milestone, but I suggest playing it cool. Take a few steps toward the office, take the jar from your bag, and hand it to your manager, saying, "This belongs to you now."
Brett Mitzi, the manager of regional sales, said, "I received three jars this morning. One of them had a label that just said Pay Rise."
Lisa Sampson said, "I got one yesterday. I haven't opened it yet, but it's making a weird humming noise like a ghost trap."
Many other employees loved the approach, with some referring to the experience as "deeply liberating" and "less illegal than emailing."
More to come. Ahhhh.
