I deal with emotional stress by talking about it, not bottling it up, and releasing any emotional tension. Going for walks and exercising are another way to take a step back and open up the perspective again too and not drone on too much about something that bothers me.
I feel that by encouraging others to do these things is a good way to help others cope. I know that I went on a bicycle ride and invited a colleague to come with me and that helped them out greatly!
