In today&rsquo;s times, it&rsquo;s hard being oneself, especially when you are expected to behave in a certain manner all the time, be it at home, workplace or in public. So, what should someone who wants to vent his frustration do? Life coach Veechi Shah has a solution: scream.

&ldquo;Screaming can be very useful in getting all the pent-up pressure out,&rdquo; says Shah, who will be conducting a special workshop on de-stressing and detoxing based on Osho Meditation Techniques at Temperance, this Saturday.
Scream and shout &ldquo;We have been conditioned to behave in a certain way at workplace, at home and in public. But often it&rsquo;s opposite to how we feel in real life. There&rsquo;s aggression, depression, and anxiety, but we are not letting it out. On any given day, there&rsquo;s a lot of screaming and shouting happening inside the mind, but we suppress it. All this creates a gap between the real person and the one we show outside.
The workshop guides people to let this inner frustration out via screaming and shouting,&rdquo; she adds. But why join a group? One can scream their lungs out in a closed room as well, right? &ldquo;Firstly, few are aware that they are stressed out. Many don&rsquo;t accept that they might be stressed out, even though their behaviour may show otherwise. Being in a group, you work as a team, and address these inner frustrations collectively.
Besides, being in a group makes de-stressing fun,&rdquo; she adds. A certified hypnotherapist from the California Institute of Hypnosis, Shah was involved in Vipassana meditation and the Osho community. She also runs a healing company, called A New Life, in the city.
Let go Shah says that her method combines effective body movements and exercises with gibberish. &ldquo;The idea is to let loose, and have fun. In workshops, we speak a lot of gibberish, letting things out without any meaning attached to them. We also use a combination of simple exercises like making a fist and lifting one&rsquo;s hands in the air, along with dancing and music to help people de-stress,&rdquo; she shares.
The workshop is open to those above 16 years of age, as Shah believes that, &ldquo;Children are more stress-free as compared to children. They are always running around and screaming, and find ways to de-stress. It&rsquo;s teenagers and adults who struggle to release the pressure. Besides, we don&rsquo;t want to expose children to the frustration of adults, so the age limit.&rdquo;
