Secondary emotions: narrative reactions to primary emotions. For example, you feel disappointed because you made a mistake at work and tell yourself this means "I'm a failure" or "I'm terrible at my job", and consequently, you feel shame. Secondary emotions contribute to emotional suffering because of the story attached.
