Great advice. There’s a book called The Practice of Embodying Emotions with tons of science backing up the basic advice of: let emotions take up as much of your body as you can, which helps them process and release faster.
researching CBT, cognitive-behavioral-therapy, don't make this weird!, will yield tons of material, but that's a journey best undertaken with someone you trust.
