=== Psychotherapy and regulation ===
Emotion regulation refers to the cognitive and behavioral strategies people use to influence their own emotional experience.<ref>Schacter, Daniel. "Psychology". Worth Publishers. 2011. p. 316</ref> For example, a behavioral strategy in which one avoids a situation to avoid unwanted emotions (trying not to think about the situation, doing distracting activities, etc.).<ref>Schacter, Daniel. ''Psychology''. Worth Publishers. 2011. p. 340</ref> Depending on the particular school's general emphasis on either cognitive components of emotion, physical energy discharging, or on symbolic movement and facial expression components of emotion different schools of [[psychotherapy]] approach the regulation of emotion differently. Cognitively oriented schools approach them via their cognitive components, such as [[rational emotive behavior therapy]]. Yet others approach emotions via symbolic movement and facial expression components (like in contemporary [[Gestalt therapy]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.123webpages.co.uk/user/index.php?user=mgc&pn=10713|title=On Emotion – an article from Manchester Gestalt Centre website|publisher=123webpages.co.uk|access-date=11 November 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120512181355/http://www.123webpages.co.uk/user/index.php?user=mgc&pn=10713|archive-date=12 May 2012 }}</ref>
