So do you allow yourself to momentarily acknowledge your frustration before moving on; or do you just immediately try to move past it?

If -35BB impacts you in any way, imagine what -350BB will do.
A successful long term player will simply and unemotionally resolve to analyze their play after their session to ensure that the downswing is variance and not a leak.

I challenge anyone to claim that they are unemotional, when it comes to poker.
In my experience, the best thing that you can do is to acknowledge your present emotional state and take steps to minimise it's effect on your play.
I would go as far as to say that anyone who says they experience no emotion during a session is fooling themselves and striving for an unrealistic goal.
It would seem far better to learn to deal with the emotions that you experience in a way that is not detrimental to your game.
