Cry, Cry Again: The Importance of Emotional Release
Crying is essential for emotional release and catharsis, allowing us to express deep-seated feelings. Tears contain stress hormones and endorphins that offer physical relief, similar to pain relievers. Crying serves as an emotional catharsis, providing a necessary outlet for pent-up emotions stored in the body. Additionally, crying prompts the release of stress hormones, alleviating tension and boosting well-being.
