Emotional reasoning is when you treat your feelings as facts (e.g., “I feel scared, so something must be wrong.”)
Ways to heal from it:
Label the feeling — “This is anxiety, not reality.”
Check the facts — ask, “What evidence supports this thought?”
Slow down your reactions — don’t act on the first emotion.
Practice emotional separation — “My feelings are valid, but they are not facts.”
Use grounding techniques — breathwork, sensory grounding, or affirmations.
Reframe thoughts — replace fear-based assumptions with balanced perspectives.
Build emotional regulation habits — mindfulness, journaling, and healthy routines.
