I've been talking to different therapists and life coaches about this. When you are overcome with sadness or memories, what do you guys think is the best to do?

Do you let it run its course, let it express itself through journaling, writing, screaming (safely - in a car or into your pillow), OR do you go the other route and try to switch your thoughts?

What do you guys do?
