Please explain? Pain is both processed physically and psychologically in my experience. Is the suggestion that if I feel pain psychologically I'm abnormal? Catharsis is a name given to a human action as old as time.

I would be curious to see the studies, perhaps people who lash out are more likely to have issues worth punching a wall over? All sorts of biases could come into play.

The times I've punched a wall are too few to derive meaningful statistics vs other methods of unwinding.
Yelling at the time of physical pain is plain reaction, it's not catharsis... specially not in this context. It's not a violent release of pent up emotions.
