They can certainly seem like facts when we are gripped by them though. Emotions Are Not Facts If you often find yourself carried away by your emotions, behaving in a way that makes you regret the consequences later, it can be useful to come to the philosophical realization that emotions are not facts.There’s no question that some are subjectively preferable to others, that some are pleasant and therefore wanted while others are. All Emotions Are Equal In The Eyes Of Evolution The regulation of emotions through drugs and talk therapy is a multi-billion dollar industry whose success can in large part be attributed to the culturally agreed upon fallacy that some emotions are good while others are bad.The bottom line is that it’s good to think about transference because you might be avoiding an extremely important aspect of your life. Maybe in the case of the lost game you are actually grieving your lost youth or a recent missed opportunity in your life. In the case of getting cut off in traffic, maybe it reminds you of your husband and how he is inconsiderate and domineering. With that increased awareness you can begin to consider what you want to do about it. Who can really be the judge of which activities have meaning and which do not? You might find however that you are avoiding difficult areas or relationships in your life where the emotions actually belong. You might find that they hit their intended mark. If you have an intense emotional reaction to something that most consider insignificant in the grand scheme, it’s valuable to ask yourself whether transference is occurring and if so who or what your emotions are actually meant for.

His definition was too narrow though because of his theoretical premises. Freud discovered the powerful phenomenon of transference in his work with patients. Once we have patted ourselves on the back for still being plugged in to life, we can start to do some self-analysis to see whether transference might be occurring. Whether they are misplaced is not as important as the fact that they are still occurring. These instances signify a continued engagement with life and the continued ability to access emotions and feel them deeply. Rather than considering these experiences unworthy of intense emotions, it’s better to take a moment to congratulate those who have not been beaten down by our culture to the point of not really feeling anything at all. arrested him, nervous.What do we make of people who feel intense emotions for relatively meaningless events? Think of the guy whose favorite football team loses and decides to spend the rest of the day in bed, or the woman who gets cut off in traffic and screams in disgust, honking wildly as she erratically drives by.
