When to choose your actions, not your feelings?

Our ability and responsibility to exercise choice occurs when deciding to act, not at the point of having the feeling. Our actions have real consequences for ourselves and others. They can get us fired or arrested or divorced. They can hurt our loved ones and coworkers.

Can a person be in control of their feelings?

But on a moment-to-moment basis, feelings come and go of their own accord. The mistaken belief that one can and should be in control of felt emotions leads to unwarranted moral condemnation, a sense that having certain feelings is the mark of a bad person.

Can a person choose to feel or act?

We can’t help how we feel, but we can choose how we act. Again and again in therapy, I find myself emphasizing the distinction between feeling an emotion and acting on it. Many patients, and non-patients too, take undue responsibility for their emotions, as though feelings were volitional behaviors, the result of a choice.

Why is it important to distinguish between feelings and actions?

Distinguishing feelings and actions is part of the “special sauce” of psychoanalysis and dynamic psychotherapy. As with free association, transference, the relative anonymity of the therapist, and other aspects of dynamic work, I believe nothing is gained by keeping patients in the dark about the process.
