Suppression or repression of emotion is the most destructive way of regulating how we feel. To reduce the expression of emotion with colleagues or friends to being ‘woke’ has got me fuming today. Most ‘builders’ are men and male suicide continues to climb with evidence and reseeds suggesting that a way to reduce the likelihood of reaching crisis point is to talk or share or somehow express your emotions (all emotions) regularly. I feel like I am full of words and I don’t know what to say. The research by Toolstation who are being cited have been constructive in their framing and the messages that sit around it. It’s the newspaper, their frame and the implicature that has me fuming.
