So, how to know what to base decisions on - the logical approach or the emotional approach.

I don't see it as black and white. I find it helpful to take input from
both the logical and emotional parts of the brain. I have certainly seen examples where I relied too much on one or the other so I strive now for balance. In general, I have in the past relied too much on the rational and logical. Therapy has helped me respect and try to integrate the emotional side. I am still learning and make mistakes, but I am doing better than I was before when I overemphasized the rational. I don't have a special method for using both types of input. Just respecting that each has value and not trying to be all one or the other.
