An article in Newsweek reports that while common sense generally dictates that letting it all out, blowing off steam and getting it off your chest are the appropriate way to deal with difficulties, a study by Mark Seery, assistant professor of psychology, suggests that those who do not reveal their feelings in the wake of a collective trauma turn out just fine, if not better, than those who do. An article on his research also appears on UPI and US News & World Report.
