For example engaging angry person in expressive but noninjurious behaviour reduces their tension or anger and weakens their tendency to engage in potentially dangerous act of aggression.In catharsis , psychodramatic scenario is created that provides sensory stimulation which triggers emotional release and cathaic abreaction, in the patient who at the same time enjoys this.However, Freud noticed that while recovering suppressed feeling under hypnosis, patients were often unable or unwilling to recall significant distressing pa of memory. He referred this reluctance as resistance and excluding distressing material from conscious awareness as repression. And because of resistance and repression he abandoned cathaic method and staed free association i.e., asked his patients to say whatever came into their minds without censoring their thoughts.
