, “In the future, there will be no need for a field called psychology,” because primal therapy would cure “80 per cent of all ailments.” Janov was not quite as prescient a thinker as he’d hoped, but the idea that yelling is a pretty good way of relieving tension has endured. Yet there’s more evidence that yelling is actually not very healthy at all. It stresses the nervous system, which triggers an inflammatory immune response, which can lead to all sorts of other bad stuff.
It’s also not terrific for the person being yelled at. The brain processes screaming differently than other auditory stimuli. A 2015 paper published instudied how screams—or any noise that results “from the bifurcation of regular phonation to a chaotic regime,” thereby making it “particularly difficult to predict and ignore”—occupy “a privileged acoustic niche,” neurologically distinct from other communication signals.
I recently spoke to Drew Ramsey, a psychiatrist and assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, about how his younger patients metabolize anger instead. “We have a generation coming up where yelling is really not a very acceptable way of expressing yourself,” he said. His observation felt true to my experience, too.
It’s not so much that anger itself has gone out of style but that the socially acceptable ways of channelling and expressing rage have radically changed. “It gets framed, maybe, that younger generations aren’t yelling because they’re not opinionated but it’s because they’ve figured out it’s not a very effective way of communicating,” Ramsey said. “For them, the value in anger and aggression has not yet been untied from toxic masculinity.
Of course, I’ll admit that there are moments when profound anger—and the wild-eyed huffing and puffing it produces—can be briefly beautiful. I think of the most explosive arguments that I’ve got into with the people I’ve cared about the most—when love and its demands made me raw, nearly feral, and I knew, even as the yelling was happening, that I would never be that honest or that vulnerable again.
I only yell the title of my book, Zealous Representation in the Circumstantial Murder Trial, to get attention in the book marketplace.
Um, are you fucking kidding?
Good lord. What a waste of words.
Cue right wing outrage in 3, 2, 1….
Toxic like from 'The Toxic Avenger'? That was a cool flick. He sure showed them!
Seems fairly ridiculous.
So.... women yelling at men is toxic masculinity?
