cathartically
In cleansing fashion
In a way that provides emotional release or relief.
Cathartic experiences purge pent-up feelings—grief, anger, frustration—leaving a sense of cleansing afterward.
Someone might cry cathartically at a funeral, scream cathartically at a concert, or find that writing about trauma works cathartically to process difficult emotions.
