"Emoting" Versus "Expressing Emotion"

I find the word "emoting" to be a better way to describe what I am saying than "expressing emotion".  This is because many people get confused if I say "express your emotions". They think this means they should speak about their emotions.  "I feel angry."  But really, expressing is about releasing the energy of emotion, commonly through crying.  So I just say emoting, and don't have to worry about that dang "express" word.
