Yeah, this seems like the kind of thing that's gonna vary widely by personality and culture. Some people and some cultures find expressing emotion to be healing and the best thing ever (see latin america--my peeps), others think that expressing emotion is pointless and grotesque (see New England WASPs). Truth is, there's not one right answer, there;s just: What the hell is it gonna take for you to get shit done? Does talk help? Then talk to lots of people. Does locking yourself in a room and STFUing help? Then lock away! The key here is self-knowledge. Know what makes your productive and do that.
