I think all of our emotions are healthy and need to be expressed. If your emotions are intense such as intense anxiety, intense anger, intense sadness etc, then the person will need help to cope with those strong feelings. Now, if the feelings are socially acceptable then the person can remove herself from the situation practice deep breathing and when she/he calmed down try to talk about the situation that cause the emotion.

You control your emotions , your emotions do not control you, sometimes, the best way to keep them under control is to take a few seconds, take a deep breath, count to ten if you need to, and then decide your next move with a clear mind . A few seconds can make all the difference in the word.

Breathe. There are so many different methods but the one I found easiest was breathing because it’s extremely portable.

I feel as if I have recently encountered this situation. I am still learning and growing each day. It's a slightly arduous but enjoyable journey. I've come to realize that, at least for me anyway, understanding yourself, or in other words being HONEST with yourself is extremely helpful. It can definitely at times be pretty difficult and uncomfortable. My best guess is that not too many people want to confront the negative sides of themselves. It can make a person vulnerable, making you feel like you're never going to "find" what you're looking for. Be harsh with yourself, endure the pain, whatever that might mean for you, because underneath truly lies "salvation".

Emotions reflect how you feel about what you experience in life. They are raw reactions of your body and brain to various stimuli that come your way.
They just happen, you can't control how you feel about what happens around you.
Some are light and they just come and go, others are mild and grab your attention for a while and then you move on. Others are strong and may feel like paralyzing your actions or even more, leading you to do a thing you would not otherwise do.
You can't refrain from feeling, but you can take notice of what you feel. And, for the strong ones, after the storm is gone, you can explore the reasons behind and find out more about what made you feel in a certain manner.
By exploring yourself, you will become aware of the reasons - the triggers - that get you to feel in a certain way. And this is the first step in dealing with your emotions.

Dealing with your emotions begins with recognizing and acknowledging them. Do you feel like your emotions confuse you? Do you ever sit down and think about it from an objective point of view? It has been helpful, for me, to identify what I'm feeling and why before deciding how I'm going to act. If frustration is overwhelming me, I can think only of the things that make me frustrated. I start thinking in circles, and it makes things worse. It helps to have a sort of "plan" to follow, one that you make when you aren't dealing with heavy emotions. You can look back at that plan when you are overwhelmed, and it'll act as a solid guide for you. Do you think it would help to have something like that? Good luck!
