It is for me. It is an emotional purge of accumulating stress. I have had vanilla sensory deprivation tank therapy. I provided a link below for posters who haven't heard of it. There is a center in my area that has a floating, cold plunge and infrared sauna combo deal. When I want the emotional release but not the expense or corporal aspect from a session, it is a common go to.
