This article in Psychology Today discusses problems associated with 'emotional reasoning'. The article also proposes the use of several psychological therapies intended to overcome and/or reduce the impact of emotional reasoning.
Questions:
- Is emotional reasoning a real thing?
- Are the proposed therapies efficacious for mitigating the negative aspects of emotional reasoning?
- Is it possible to change someone’s beliefs without using counter-emotional tactics (i.e. generate a counter emotion to change the person's belief)?
