This whole idea of logic versus emotions (Apollo vs. Dionysus) is WAY too much Greek thinking, as if we had a choice.  They are BOTH tied up together, I have read that people that have damage to their emotion centers cannot think logically at all.  So the solution is to unravel their premise, that logic and emotions CAN be separated, as they cannot.

What IS happening I think when one is called “too emotional” is that person is saying why THEY would be acting as you are.  We carry around models of others and we try to figure out their motivations from what we can see, but we are imperfect modelers.  My point is that when someone says this, they are telling you more about themselves than about you.  They may be right or wrong in their analysis, but they are saying if THEY said/did what you said/did that would be the reason.
