What Tolle says, and I tend to agree with, is a bit different. Instead of just using the brain ( thought ) to control emotion, by acknowledging it, seeing it through thought for what it is, and then denying it, what you do is to feel the emotion. Allow it to run it's course in you and observe it in as detached a way as possible. Focus your full attention and awareness to it. Bring light to it.
You've heard the term 'follow the money' ?
Well this reminds me of that. Instead, 'follow the feeling'. It will bring you to the source.
