PTSD Israeli citizen in the aftermath of events of 7 October? A purging and release of emotions as repressed can be achieved?

"'PEOPLE FEEL LIKE A BURDEN WAS LIFTED FROM THEIR SHOULDERS'"

"Tel Aviv ‘rage room’ a smash hit for post-October 7 Israelis desperate to vent"

"While the therapeutic benefits are debatable, participants at 2Break get momentary catharsis by obliterating computers, tea sets and garden gnomes with a variety of weaponry"

"Music blared as two figures in full bodysuits, chest protection, clunky helmets and gloves violently struck a computer with crowbars. Smashed bits of technology and broken teacups already littered the floor of the harshly lit, cell-like room, and the graffitied corkboard walls shook with the force of their blows."

"Ten minutes later, the pair of masked destroyers emerged back into reality, shucking their gear to reveal two giggling friends in jeans celebrating a birthday, before taking a moment by the water cooler to come down from their rage session."

LET OFF STEAM! "Letting off steam refers to the act of releasing pent-up energy, anger, or strong emotions through physical activity, noisy behavior, or engaging in a relaxing or enjoyable activity."

Correct. The Israeli not accustomed to a prolong attritional war. Not since 1947 at least. Multiple call-up of reservists for combat duty hardly seemingly no end in sight!
