Your emotions are the product of every emotion concept you&#8217;ve ever learned, so Barrett maintains that <strong>you are responsible for your own feelings and learning new concepts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/rewire-your-brain\/\">rewire your brain<\/a> for different actions<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the traditional view of emotion, if you have an angry outburst, you aren&#8217;t responsible for your own angry feelings, because your \u201canger circuits\u201d just got activated. Barrett explains that this view of emotions finds its origins in part in Charles Darwin\u2019s 1872 book <em>The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals<\/em>, which theorizes that emotions are passed down to us, unchanging, from an early animal ancestor. As a result, humans are at the mercy of their animal emotions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/the-athletes-way\/201505\/how-do-your-genes-influence-levels-emotional-sensitivity\">Researchers at Cornell University recently discovered a genetic variation<\/a> that makes carriers more susceptible to intense emotions than the average person, supporting the theory that there\u2019s a biological component to how we feel and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-process-emotions\/\">process emotions<\/a>. The researchers do not indicate in any way, however, that this discovery absolves the carrier of personal responsibility for their behavior.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You&#8217;re Responsible for Your Own Feelings: Barrett&#8217;s Theory of Emotion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Barrett\u2019s theory of constructed emotion, however, you are responsible not only for how you handle your feelings but for the emotions themselves. <strong>Emotions aren\u2019t the product of evolution<\/strong>; rather, they\u2019re passed down from one generation to the next as cultural concepts, and your brain makes emotions using the concepts it\u2019s learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an angry outburst, your actions are shaped by all your past experiences (as concepts) that led up to that moment. As a baby, you can\u2019t choose what concepts other people put into your head. But as an adult, you can choose what you expose yourself to and therefore what emotion concepts you learn.<strong> By changing your concepts, you can change your future emotions, and thus, your actions.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: One way that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/ptsd-guideline\/treatments\/eye-movement-reprocessing\">adults can \u201crewire\u201d negative emotion concepts from childhood is through EMDR therapy<\/a>\u2014a practice in which the patient briefly revisits a traumatic memory while following a structured eye movement stimulation. This practice is becoming increasingly common in psychotherapy for treatment of PTSD.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you responsible for your own feelings?
