Expression is the Antidote to Depression
Disconnecting and suppressing emotions can lead to depression, which is fundamentally about pushing emotions down rather than feeling them. Recognizing that depression is not merely sadness is crucial; rather, it stems from the continuous act of suppression. The antidote lies in emotional expression, where experiencing and sharing a full range of emotions, whether positive or negative, can facilitate emotional regulation. Validation from others during these expressions enhances this process, preventing isolation and fostering resilience.
