That's sound healthly me. Except the crying bit, crying releases happy neurotramitters in the brain, it's self-limiting - you deal, you move on.
But repressing bad events and so on sounds good. I think this is why people critise Freudian psycho-analysis 'cause it brings so much painful stuff. Sometimes it is best to put stuff behind you so can function. The GOOD thing about it is that is helps you analyse your motivations and can perhaps help break destructive patterns. If you don't have destructive patterns though why bother. Self analysis is a double edged sword.
My personal approach to emotion is to feel it, but then to disassociate myself from it and say "why am I feeling this way, what is the worst case senario, how can I fix it" and then I don't feel so bad because most things are solvable. I believe Freud called this defense mechanism intellectualisation.
