Secondary emotions are the emotional responses we have as a result of another emotion. They occur because we have judgements or beliefs about certain emotions and what’s okay or not okay to feel. For example, if we feel worried or anxious about something, but are embarrassed or ashamed that we feel that way, our primary emotions would be worried or anxious and our secondary emotions would be shame or embarrassment. Secondary emotions can be protective, we may not feel safe showing how sad or upset we are so we act out in anger to push people away and ensure we don’t feel too vulnerable. Just for clarity, in this example, sadness would be our primary emotion and anger would be secondary. But you can see how presenting with a more aggressive emotion can protect us from having our true feelings of hurt or upset exposed.
