In both Brazilian and American English, 'relieved' is commonly used to express emotional comfort after stress or worry. Brazilians frequently use 'aliviado' in casual conversations, and it's a very natural way to describe emotional states. The expression 'que alívio!' (what a relief!) is popular in Brazil, while Americans might say 'thank goodness!' or simply 'relieved.'
