Emotion Suppression: Effects on Mental and Physical Health

By MySahana on 28 Oct 2014

By MySahana on 10 Jun 2011

When Raj was born in 1951, his father Manmohan was 2 miles away, with his friends, buying them tea and snacks in celebration of the birth of his first son. Raj and his mother went to her parents house and Manmohan held his son for the first time two months after Raj’s birth.
