Explanation

'Catharsis' means the process of releasing strong emotions through art, providing emotional purification or healing. Purging, abreaction (psychoanalytic release), and release all describe this cleansing process. 'Ad infinitum' is a Latin phrase meaning 'to infinity' or 'endlessly', which describes continuation rather than emotional release.
