Lately, I keep hearing about a phenomenon that I think we can all understand:
‘Suppressing bad feelings is not good for your health.’
Duh.
But, the conversation goes further than this. It not only says that long-term neglect of depression, grief or even just the blues is bad, but that momentary facades – like a forced smile – can make a bad-mood-day worse. In turn, the whole mind-body unit takes a hit.
