es bueno deshogar

Question

I have heard the expression from Mexicans, "es bueno deshogar" or "es bueno deshogarse" which is used to describe the relief experienced in telling someone one's troubles. Am I spelling this correctly?

Thanks.

Check the spelling Qfreed has provided. The way you have it spelled, it means to "leave home" - 005faa61, Jul 6, 2011

Deshogar=desahogar. Example: "¡Y nadie contra quien deshogar la cólera!" (Reymont, translation by Slaby and Girbal.) - 00752bb4, Mar 13, 2012

However, "deshogar" is rarely used, at least today. - 00752bb4, Mar 13, 2012

I don't know any verb to express that one is leaving its home. We say "dejar la casa", "abandonar el hogar", &c. - 00752bb4, Mar 13, 2012
