A professional who specializes in a system of therapy that involves treating the patient, often suffering from a personality disorder, with a dose of common-sensical advice aimed at adjusting said character flaws. This is usually done by questioning their motivations and career/financial goals while refraining from practicing negative reinforcement or punishment. Most patients resist and therefore continue down their current destructive path. Coined by Superfan Giovanni Giorgio on the Adam Carolla Show(1/17/13).
Adam Carolla: Hey Tara, when you screen the calls for tonight's Loveline, can you limit the suicide ones, please?
(Tara laughs while watching "The Simpsons" on TV)
Adam Carolla: HEY!! Let's focus. You've got a job to do. Now I was saying I'd like less-
Tara: You're not my boss!!
Adam Carolla: Whoa, someone's in desperate need of an emotional chiropractor.

Get the emotional chiropractor mug.This phrase comes from the world of online gaming, games such as World of Warcraft.
These games provide a mechanism called emotes for players to express emotions or indicate physical actions. For example:
"Sean scratches his nose."
Power emoting describes the abuse of this system when players use emotes to describe an action that takes away the ability of another player to respond or prevent it. For example:
"Sean picks John's pocket and steals his wallet."
"Sean cuts off John's head and throws it in a ditch."
These are considered god emotes because John cannot prevent the actions from happening. Here are corrected versions of the above examples:
"Sean puts his hand in John's pocket and fumbles for his wallet."
"Sean swings his sword at John's neck."
John can respond by catching me in the process of stealing the wallet or by blocking my sword.
