Rage Room As A Form Of Therapy

‘A rage room is a great way to get rid of anger’

BBC Spotlight recently covered the 'Act Your Rage' rage room, created by the incredible Katie Hoyle who was inspired to offer this therapy after working with our Young Empowered Women’s Project.

Owner of Act Your Rage Katie Hoyle said although her rage room was open to the public, youth workers, organisations and charities who supported young people also used the service.

Ashleigh Cowling, 18, part of the Yew project, said it was "a great way to get rid of anger in a healthy way".

Yew project lead Eve Davenport said there were not many places in life where people could "express their anger in such a raw way".

She said: "This is a really safe, contained way to express that anger.

"Through our group work, we try to create a space where they are allowed to be angry, allowed to be angry about what's happened to them.

"It is really important they have a space to tap into that in a safe way."

Katie says “A massive part of healing is feeling angry about what we have experienced. Creating this space has really helped people let out what they are feeling and process their emotions.”
