I mean not letting undesirable emotions perpetuate in your pysche so long that they're destructive.

There are really no undesireable emotions. There are no "good" nor "bad" emotions. They just are. It's your view on them that makes them what you perceive them to be.
Just like wood is just wood, whether you use it to build a house, or a concentration camp.
Repressing emotional response is very not healthy. Neither is rolling in one's emotional vomit.
Try to think of emotions as muscles. Yes, you could build them and build them and build them until you are a stiff brick walking around, but you are actually much more prone to injury because you are not flexible.
