We challenge the common view of emotional overwhelm as purely a sign of dysfunction or instability. Instead, we propose that intense feelings, particularly those related to mortality, grief, or loss, often serve as profound indicators of personal values and care. Allowing the body to experience this "flood" of emotion—which may manifest as crying or trembling—is not a sign of pathology but rather a functional, necessary response that provides clarity about what truly matters. By honoring this sensitivity instead of immediately shutting it down for the sake of functionality, individuals can gain deeper self-understanding and reconnect with essential human experiences. Managing strong feelings means engaging with them to learn the truth they hold, rather than just attempting to control or eliminate them.
