Experiencing emotional overwhelm is an inevitable part of being human. As Mr Rodgers Muriuki, an experienced therapist, points out, positive and negative emotions are a fundamental aspect of our psychological makeup.

However, how we process these emotions can deeply influence our mental health, relationships and overall well-being. While it’s completely normal to feel sadness, anger, or frustration at times, relying on unhealthy coping mechanisms can lead to even greater distress.
