keep a journal or a blog scream into a pillow beat the heck out of a pillow jump up and down until you feel like your legs will fall off call a friend who will understand that just because you're yelling doesn't mean you are yelling at them tear some paper into little bits (then recycle it)

*I typed this whole answer after reading your question. After typing, I read your question again, I realised that I over looked "pent-up" in your question. In no mood to delete my answer, I am going to post it anyyway. I am sure some wil find it helpful. I am just going to explain how to change general emotions. Here we go... Think of something that makes you real sad. Talk about it in front of mirror. Now talk about something that gets you real excited in front of mirror. Did you see your self change phyically when you change topics? head down, low tone of voice, etc. .? Now next time ur feeling down, change your physical state and you will find a change in your emotions.

Regarding the pent-up part, here's a technique many professionals use. Say if you are mad at your boss or something, get a chair, lock yourself in room. Make sure no-one's at home. And then literally YELL at the chair imagining it was your boss. Say what every you want to say to it. YELLLLLLLLL it to the chair. Do not give a damn what your boss is thinking. Just YELL everything you want to say to him. Use your body to. Point at it, stand up and yell. 5 minutes of this and you will notice change next time you see your boss.

you can talk to someone who you can trust, maybe like a counselor, or a best friend. Also you can write out waht your feeling in a diary.

All humans have the ability to release feelings. I mean, literally, release them. We have actually trained ourselves out of doing so. While expressing yourself releaves some pressure, releasing the entire feeling is the only true way to set yourself free. There is so much energy put into different ways of handling feelings when they can just be released, instead of being dealt with in the first place.
