I am looking at the impact of sharing emotions with others. Previous research has shown when individuals share their emotion, sad ones, in particular, they feel better. Now, there is another view saying that when individuals share sad emotion, they become, somehow, committed to their this type of emotion. For example, when someone tells others that he is upset or angry with someone, he remains the same for a long time. I have tried to find some literature explaining this view but could not choose the right keywords to search for. Could you please refer me to some references explaining this view.
Emotional commitment – gaining a sense of meaning and joy – is where discretionary effort kicks in. Emotional commitment has four times the power to impact performance. Emotional commitment comes from values alignment. we have an emotional connection with our values. They influence how we view ourselves and they help form our world view. No amount of policies and procedures will change someone’s values. As an organization, you have to be exceptionally clear on your values; not only in what they are, but in how leadership pro-actively lives out those values publicly. Energy, Enthusiasm & Passion - our emotional commitment to the importance of what we are doing; our emotional commitment to other people. Our commitment of emotional energy will attract and hold both the attention and assistance of the people around us who will help us attain our goals and accompany us on our journey of success
Emotion is a sentiments ,feelings, touch within & it is better that it should move with our personal problems or family problem to find the exact solution & collect reason to find out the solution of the same . This may help us to give proper justice to our sentiments & emotion which had a direct touch within a our heart.
In certain cases because of our views of others & which of negative nature our sentiments work in a indirect manner giving the ideas to our mind & brain which keep us our feeling indirectly & also it may turn into an emotion . This is no way a right practice emotion should be search it should give us pleasure inside & for others it may help them to find the solution or relief in their action .
This is my personal opinion
Dear Saleh Ali Ali
I feel Kiran Grover answer is an excellent one - she is referring to when one is committed to an action or project with passion and also where one´s value system is implicated.
That is one way of interpreting your question. However reading your explanation between the lines I feel you are asking something else and I would like you to clarify further.
From your explanation, it seems to me as though you are asking whether therapies which promote the cathartic expression of emotions through the retelling of the history involving the emotion, help the person overcome the underlying emotion or do they reinforce the person´s “commitment” to the emotion (and the story behind it). I am sure there is research on this which is maybe easier to track if you look up the effects of cathartic therapies and emotions. From personal experience as a cranial sacral therapist and meditation teacher, I find when the person allows the bodily expression of the emotion to occur, but does not name it or get involve in his or her story, he or she can let a new energetic expression surface in the body. it seems to me it can be more difficult for the person to let go and it also possibly takes longer in therapies which only involve the re-telling of the story. This is my personal experience, but there is a little about it in some of my papers. One is about the is about
Experiencing Peace Through Heart-Based Meditation on The Self
During this research involving the learning of a certain meditation method known as Intuitive Meditation, people were able to move through some of their emotional experiences very quickly and then start experiencing the deeper levels of consciousness which are associated with certain positive qualities and involve feeling.

Tina Lindhard Madam,
Thanks for your discussion,you feel my point of view ,I am talking about catharsis of emotions that lead to commitment.you give link your paper that mention in discussion.
Dibakar Pal Sir,
you marvelously said about commitment that Heart is guided by emotion and head is guided by motion.
Dibaker Sir,
It's really true in your paper ,A brilliant teacher produces brilliant student. But in case of politics it is just reverse. Here success of a brilliant leader lies in number and capability to produce blunt supporters through innovative mechanism.
When your actions and habits combine with intense effort and are directed by a solid purpose, it is this level of commitment that charges the senses and fuels your enthusiasm for attaining the seemingly impossible: Scott Allan.
