Letting my brother cry it out felt wrong, but a counselor's insight shifted my stance.
Seeing his genuine relief after expressing sadness completely overturned my belief in emotional suppression.

My therapist, Dr. Evans, challenged my stance on emotional containment just last month. I used to advocate for stoicism, but witnessing genuine relief in others has completely changed my mind.

Was there a particular moment where you saw that relief and realized your old stance wasn't working, or was it more of a gradual shift?
