It’s based apparently on the “Primal Scream” therapy that psychologist Arthur Janov came up with in the mid 1960s.
He argued that neurosis is caused by the repressed pain of childhood trauma and that repressed pain can be sequentially brought to conscious awareness for resolution through re-experiencing specific incidents and fully expressing the resulting pain during therapy. Primal therapy was developed as a means of eliciting the repressed pain.
TPM’s regular outbursts in the NZ Parliament could be seen as an equivalent.
Will it work? Possibly but unlikely: warped thinking doesn’t get cured like that.
