I do hope you realize I want actually contemplating having a tantrum.just musing on the fact that it may just have its perks.

Have you tried channeling your frustration into exercise? It's always surprising how long I can run when I'm pissed off, and afterward I'm too tired to be mad anymore.

Hmmm...well, I see no harm in throwing and hitting things  in order to relieve stress, but it depends on the individual. If it truly doesn't make you feel calmer afterwards but only more full of rage, then yeah, maybe exercise, a hot bath, a good cry, all three, or whatever else works.  But if someone feels better after breaking and throwing things, I'd say the best way to do it is to have an Anger Room or Tantrum Room or whatnot.  Fill the room with junky furniture and horrible dishes you hate, cheap stuff lol.  That at least would eliminate the letdown of having broken a lot of really valuable and treasured things.  
And yes, I know this thread is three years old, lmao.  I'm just navigating my way around but this peaked my interest.

Handkerchief, speaking personally, I've had a couple of controlled tantrums that turned out to be VERY therapeutic. The first one had me beating a pile of cushions with a baseball bat while screaming "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" while being supervised by a therapist. The other one I did on my own, no screaming, but cushion beating with a whiffle ball bat for a set amount of time (5 minutes). If you set parameters for a controlled tantrum, it can really help ease the tension.
