    Key Perspectives on this Statement: Pro-Assertion (Empowerment): This view, often shared by therapists like Nicole Symcox and Karen Koenig, argues that our feelings stem from our own interpretations of events, not the events themselves. It is designed to stop people from feeling like victims of others’ actions. Con-Assertion (Contextual): Critics, such as Therapist Jeff, argue that this phrase is “wrong, mostly” because it ignores the human need for connection and the reality that actions (especially abuse or trauma) can cause immediate, involuntary, and valid emotional pain. The Nuance: The statement is most effective when interpreted as: “You can control your reaction to what people do,” rather than, “You shouldn’t feel hurt by what people do”.
