What is the meaning of catharsis hypothesis?

The catharsis hypothesis maintains that "releasing" aggressive energy through action or fantasy reduces anger. Although "blowing off steam" may temporarily calm an angry person, it may also amplify underlying hostility, and it may provoke retaliation.

EX: I feel (name your feeling)when (non-judgmental description of behavior)because (give the effect the behavior has on you or on others).
