She has promoted many bizarre fads over the years, ranging from jade eggs to bee venom therapy.
And now Gwyneth Paltrow is touting the health benefits of letting go of anger – by hitting things with a plastic bat.
The Hollywood star, 51, has revealed she has a ‘coach’ who helps her express feelings of distress.
Ms. Paltrow is no stranger to trying standard wellness trends in an effort to improve her life. Ms. Paltrow said she is learning how to express negative feelings in a physical way after years of being told it’s not “ladylike.” ‘I was always bad at expressing anger. I’m still not very good at it, but it’s an important part of my mental health, to express anger in a healthy way,” she said in an Instagram video filmed during a flight.
Gwyneth Paltrow revealed in a video on Instagram that she has a ‘coach’ who helps her express feelings of sadness. Ms. Paltrow said her coach “suggested that I buy a plastic bat from Amazon, and sometimes when I feel really stuck in anger, I just hit things with it.”

Ms. Paltrow said her coach “suggested that I buy a plastic bat from Amazon, and sometimes when I feel really stuck in anger, I just hit things with it.” The actress, who has reinvented herself as a wellness guru with her brand Goop, said it is “especially important” for women to find a way to manage their emotions. “Developing a habit of letting go of anger is important, especially for us women who grew up thinking that expressing anger is unladylike and not something we should do,” she said.
In addition to selling expensive self-help products on her website, Ms. Paltrow also regularly shares insights into her personal health and wellness. She was criticized for telling her followers that her daily routine consisted of IV therapy, eating only bone broth for lunch and doing intermittent fasting. She also said she tries to stick to a paleo diet of mostly vegetables.
