Humans have emotions, it's just a fact of life. Denying that you have them doesn't make them go away, it usually just makes them dig in even more. As a mental health professional, trust me when I say acknowledging and processing emotions is the best way to stop them from wrecking your shit.
The standing 8-count metaphor is honestly better than it has any right to be. Don't rush back in until you've collected yourself and are ready to fight again.
There was an extra on the set of Spider-Man, and he told of Randy Savage as a wrestler in the ring, and he took a hard fall, and his head was at a wrong angle, and he was just laying there. Then the director yelled cut, and Randy popped back up ready to do it again.
He got on a flight I was on once in his full regalia, guy in front of me said "nice tights"without skipping a beat he says SPANDEX! And proceeds to his seat. Guy in front shut up pretty quick.
He was ahead of the times! This definitely goes against the prevailing "boys don't cry" mentality that devastated (and continues to devastate) the lives so many boys and men. And he is still advocating for resilience and toughness because being tough and being in touch with your emotions are not mutually exclusive! Respect, Machoman.

Well he's not still advocating for it because he's deceased, but if he was still around, he definitely would be.

Yes, I know :( I meant still as in "at the same time" here
