Are You Suppressing Your Emotions?

When we talk about people suppressing their emotions, when we say you're bottling up your emotions, for example, that model is very much the idea that there is stuff inside of you and you're putting a cap on it. Whereas this other model suggests that what you do in the world and how you behave in the world, in fact, changes what's happening inside you. And if you choose in your behavior not to act on those emotions or in fact to act calm when you might want to be angry, after some time you will start to feel calm. Is that the idea? Yeah.
