Why do people yell at their TVs? Writing comments ventilates your internal monologue. Sometimes it is more important to have said something than to be heard by others. One of the techniques of Gestalt Therapy is the Empty Chair: > This is a role-playing exercise that allows a client to imagine and participate in a conversation with another person or another part of themselves. Sitting across from the empty chair, the client enters into a dialogue as if they were speaking with that other person or that other part of themselves. The empty chair exercise can be very helpful in drawing out important perceptions, meanings, and other information that can help clients become more aware of their emotional experience and how to start healing. https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-gestalt-therapy-4584583 https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-gestalt-therapy-4584583 It is nice to know that you can get some relief from not having said what you wanted to say to someone who has since passed away, by speaking to an empty chair. And it is nice to know that if you struggle with someone actively crossing your boundaries, it makes a difference that you object vocally to it, regardless of how they react. Seeing yourself say something that is not received has a different mental impact than seeing yourself say nothing. If all else fails, pick a fight with the void.
