Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

Just tell them how you feel. Letting feelings out is not a bad thing. They're your family, they will understand.

You can go for a run; write your feelings in a journal or express yourself through poetry or song; scream into your pillow; talk to a supportive friend; find a great listener on 7 Cups Of Tea :). There are lots of ways you can vent, even if showing emotion isn't encouraged in your family.

You can always speak with a close friend or find support websites, such as 7 Cups, to vent and speak to someone about your thoughts and emotions.
