Emotion work

Emotion work is understood as the art of trying to change in degree or quality an emotion or feeling.

For emotion work sold for a salary, see Emotional labor.

Emotion work may be defined as the management of one's own feelings, or work done in an effort to maintain a relationship; there is dispute as to whether emotion work is only work done regulating one’s own emotion, or extends to performing the emotional work for others.
