The concept of a rage room is quite famous in modern countries but the idea of rage therapy is still alien to Sri Lankan society. Rage rooms are a fun and entertaining way to vent out your frustrations. Individuals can come with their friends, pick a package, and smash objects. The concept is to allow people to have a fun experience while blowing off some steam.
However, our culture and its people would always find a way to condemn a new business idea. The misconception that Rage rooms are inducing violence is a complete hoax and that is because our country is so backward thinking, according to Sri Lanka’s first rage room ‘Rage Academy’ Founder Shaveen Perera.
Ever wondered why we get angry?
“According to psychologist Daniel Goleman, “emotions are, in essence, impulses to act, the instant plans for handling life that evolution has instilled in us.”
In his book “Emotional Intelligence,” Goleman tells us that anger causes blood to flow to our hands, making it easier for us to strike an enemy or hold a weapon. Our heart rate speeds up, and a rush of hormones – including adrenaline – creates a surge of energy strong enough to take “vigorous action.” In this way, anger is ingrained into our brain to protect us.”
Anger is the rawest form of emotion and is one of the emotions that people connect with the most. It is not a bad emotion unless you express it in a harmful way. Purchasing a session at rage academy will provide you with immediate emotional relief and gratification where you can finally come to terms with what you are feeling. This is exactly why a rage room would benefit you.
Even if you are not easily angered, rage rooms offer a quick adrenaline rush and a new experience. Most importantly, our rage room is completely judgement free. You can smash away your stress and walk out feeling like a better version of yourself.
Therapeutic and fun?
Here is a fun fact, rage rooms are a great form of couple’s therapy. If you and your partner had an argument or you fought with your friend, our rage room promises a bonding experience like no other.
Rage rooms do offer mental health benefits because they allow you to prevent your harmful thoughts and emotions from progressing into something deeper. Our rage room is a safe zone which allows you to understand the extent of your feelings and come to terms with the reality of your situation.
Anger has a price and rage academy charges an introductory price of Rs. 3600 for a group activity for sublimating anger to an inanimate object.
Expressing anger in the confines of the Rage Academy could potentially avoid substantial legal costs should you choose to express your anger on a person or institution.
New concepts are a crucial part to the Sri Lankan economy for it to come out of its crisis. Sri Lanka is far behind other countries; we lack innovation and new enterprises. New enterprises/concepts bring in new revenue streams to the country. For us to have a stable economic foundation it is vital for us to take risks in innovation and new business concepts. If not, we will go back to the same situation we have always been in. Other countries that are growing and their economies are rapidly moving forward because of the risks they take.
