how do you translate emoting?

The word for emotion in Spanish is emoción. That is a noun. How do you translate the process of emoting?
Before we can expect someone to change their thinking, emoting, responding their internal map must change.
Grateful for your thoughts.

I don't think the expression "the process of emoting" is English.

You get my vote Ian, I'm voting for you for being short and to the point. I'm not emoting at all. - annierats, Oct 7, 2011

To Emote is an egregious example of verbing a noun. I would probably convert it back into proper English, then into Spanish, something like, expresar emociones.

is verbing a verb? haha - unMica, Oct 7, 2011
A famous example: "One should never verb a noun." ;-) - KevinB, Oct 7, 2011

I agree with you, but as Mica says, verbing is rather doubtful too! - annierats, Oct 7, 2011
Purposely so! :-) - KevinB, Oct 7, 2011

"Emoting" is a term that is often used in Psychology and Sociology, or related things. Outside of that context, most people never use it.
As KevinB said, it'd be best/easier to change it to "expressing emotions," and translate from there.
