From a layman’s perspective, it is considered that an emotion vanishes once it is shared hence this relief motivates individuals to share similar experiences in the future. Noller and Feeney (2006, p. 92) asserts that similar explanation is also given to situations of collective emotional expression such as during anniversaries, social rituals and other celebrations. Extensive research has been done on this topic in order to establish how people behave during the process of sharing their experiences (Rime, 2009, p.76). It has been found out that mild episodes have the possibility of being discussed in detail as various participants try to express their thoughts and feelings about the situation. A lot of questions are asked and knowledge of similar experiences which had happened is brought out as people try to come up with viable meanings to events. However, this is not the case for severe episodes. here less talk is involved accompanied with a lot of non-verbal behaviors. In the latter deeper emotions are aroused, which can only be observed in behaviors such as touching, facial expression and even body contacts in form of hugs. Pennebaker, Zech and Rime, (2001, p. 145) explains that in both cases though, the interest of the people is to symbolically attach such as a situation to their personal context, for instance, if it is an accident, an individual will look at it that what if it was them or their relatives involved. Furthermore, literature reviews reveal that emotional disclosure does not depend on one’s level of education. 90-95% of individuals are likely to share what they experience during the first two to three weeks after its happening when it is still fresh in their memory (Rime, 2009, p.81). In fact, the primary emotion involved during the happening of the episode does not affect the need to share what had transpired. Experiences that evoked anger, fear or sadness are talked about in the same degree as those that evoked joy or love. However, it has been discovered that emotional experiences that involved guilt or shame are likely to be talked at a lesser degree or not talked about at all. These observations reveal that the immediate days just after the occurrence of the episode are characterized with an emotion evocation of high intensity during the sharing (Lepore, Fernandez-Berrocal, Ragan &amp. Ramoz, 2004, p.346). However, as days go by, the emotions are likely to evoke emotions of lesser intensity as people have heard about it time and again. The fundamental feature associated with the sharing of an emotion of a past experience is that it brings out a process of reactivation (Noller &amp. Feeney, 2006, p. 94). This process involves the re-arousal of subjective feelings, re-feeling of body sensations as well as re-experiencing of mental images. If it is a negative emotion being talked about, the person sharing it will be left in a state of distress as the negative emotions are being reactivated. The irony underlying this scenario is that, in spite of this negative association, a person is very eager to share the emotional experiences. The question then arises as to why people could go ahead to talk about what will eventually hurt them emotionally. Mostly, people will need to do so due to the arousal of intensive cognitive needs following the episode. Wetherell, et al (2005, p.
