Be it work stress in the office or the pain of heartbreak, there is something in every situation that hurts deep inside. People adopt various methods to get rid of this pain, but many times they are unable to get any true comfort. A small companion in this difficult situation that can comfort you without saying anything is the pillow. Recently a new trend is becoming increasingly viral among social media and health experts, which is called pillow therapy or pillow therapy. With the help of this, people are taking out their inner pain and getting relief. So let's know how this pillow therapy works and what are its benefits.

What is pillow therapy?
The idea of pillow therapy is very simple. In this, you have to take a soft pillow and hold it tightly. If you want, you can shout at it, cry, or just pour out your emotions. This is known as emotional venting. This therapy is considered to be very effective in reducing stress and emotional release. If you have ever seen in films, the actor or actress is shown crying by pressing the pillow on their face - this is a part of pillow therapy, which has proved effective for many people.
What do experts say?
Psychologists believe that sometimes we do not get a chance to share our feelings with anyone. In such a situation, pillow therapy becomes a safe space for us, where we can talk without any judgment. Apart from this, screaming activates our diaphragm and core muscles, which help in reducing stress. It can be considered as a kind of emotional reboot button, which gives us relief by breaking negative thoughts and stress.
Benefits of pillow therapy:
- Helps in reducing office stress.
- Sleep improves.
- Provides relief from breakup or relationship trauma.
- Provides support in cases of anxiety.
- Venting anger on the pillow, not on loved ones, saves relationships.
- Helps to express your feelings openly.
- There is no need to suppress emotions.
- It helps reduce mental stress.
How to do pillow therapy:
- First of all, choose a quiet and lonely place where you can vent your emotions without any disturbance.
- Take a soft pillow that you can comfortably hug or scream with your mouth closed.
- Express your emotions openly, whether it is anger, crying, or screaming.
- If you want, you can also talk to the pillow, as if it is your close friend.
- When you feel a little light, take deep breaths and try to calm yourself.

Why is pillow therapy in trend?
In today's era of technology and social media, people remain active online but are emotionally alone. Pillow therapy is not only helping our emotional health, but it has also become an effective treatment without medication. Many people have included it in their daily routine. However, it is important to note that this therapy is not a cure for depression or serious mental problems. If you do not get relief even with pillow therapy, then contact a mental health specialist.
