Emotions
Thoughts Cause Feelings
Albert Ellis shows that our
interpretations
of events determine our feelings:
Event 
Thought Feeling
Example: You see someone
sitting at a table crying. You think they must be sad, and feel concern
and sympathy.
Then you look down at the
table
and see the person is cutting an onion. You think the onion is causing
them to cry, and feel relief that nothing is wrong.
