Usage Note
Émotionnellement is a long adverb typically reserved for written or formal speech; in conversation, French speakers often prefer sur le plan émotionnel or affectivement. It derives from the adjective émotionnel(le), which itself is a calque of English 'emotional'. The more literary synonym is affectivement.
