, LPC, tells POPSUGAR that"emotions, stress, and traumas are all stored in our bodies, so doing things such as crying releases these pent up emotions and stress."
But for me, these crying sessions do more than just that. They allow me to have more control over how and when I'm crying. Before instituting my weekly cry sessions, I would find tears rolling down my face during the most unexpected times . Whenever I'm stressed or anxious, I find myself crying more easily than I otherwise would if I were in a better mental state.explains it like this:"After a stressful situation is over, we often carry built-up tension or energy.
Of course, I'm not saying crying is something that has to be"controlled" because, please, if you feel the need to cry, just cry. This also doesn't mean I never cry outside of these sessions, because of course I do — I'm human! But in order to feel more checked in with my emotions, I release whatever unresolved tension I'm experiencing during my weekly cry session. And I feel better every time.
That being said, it's possible that regular cry sessions won't have the same positive effect on you — and that's OK. Kapp tells POPSUGAR that"the key is to get in tune with the body's signals of built-up tension and learn what brings relief." For me, it's crying. For you, it could be yoga, meditation, dancing, cooking, working out, or something else. Just make sure to regularly prioritize something that helps you find release at whatever cadence works for you.
If you're a Grade-A Hallmark commercial crier like me, then cry sessions might be just what you need. Who knows, you may find that it's your new favorite Wednesday night activity.
