Sometimes people want to vent all of their anger about a recurring problem. In some cases people need this feeling to motivate them to take action to correct the problem. If a coworker is inappopriate with you, then you might vent about it for an hour with a friend on the phone. Unfortunately you may need those negative feelings to move you towards confronting this person on their behavior. Other than that I think you really outline the major points.
