Catharsis is like word vomit. Although, it's usually a refreshing sort of word vomit. If purging thoughts and feelings from the depth of your soul and coming to an epiphany is not on the agenda, the opposite would be swallowing it. Keeping it all to yourself, building up inside until it tears out of you. Catharsis = Good; Absorbing it = taking a bad dump... usually on someone in the vicinity when you can't take bottling it up anymore. A catharsis should make you feel better, while the opposite will make you feel worse.
