“Because your disturbances include thoughts, feelings, and actions, you can make a three-way attack on them: change your thinking, your “emoting”, and your behaving. Use your head, your heart, and your hands and feet!” Albert Ellis

Some people have commented on the above quote saying that the word “emoting” is incorrect. Albert Ellis used the verb “emoting” instead of the passive noun “emotion”  to convey the idea that we have control over our emotions. It suggests that we are not just passive recipients of our feelings; instead, we can actively influence and manage them. This perspective encourages individuals to take an active role in shaping their emotional experiences, using their understanding, emotions, and actions in a coordinated effort to improve their mental health and well-being.
