I once pulled out lots and lots of ground cover that I had been planning to do someday. I was really really upset about someone's actions, and ripping stuff out like that was very therapeutic. And productive, because I had a new flower bed to fill!
Throwing rolled up bundles of old carpet down the stairs into the basement is therapeutic for me, too. When we were remodelling the house, I loved this task. I "named" all the bundles! Kind of disappointing when they were all gone. Almost made me want to carry them back upstairs and keep going. :-D
This kind of stuff helps me. I feel relaxed and a bit drained in a good kind of way. If I thought it was feeding and escalating the anger, I don't know if I would view it so positively.
