Balancing Insight Meditation and Emotional Work

I've spent the past month researching different practices after pausing my Shikantaza and self-inquiry methods. I've decided to focus more on insight-based practices like Vipassana or Shamatha-Vipassana, and I've settled on MIDL for several reasons. At the same time, I've realized the importance of returning to emotional work, similar to what's outlined in The Power of Focusing by Ann Weiser Cornel. My question now is: how do I balance emotional work with meditation? Should I do one session of meditation in the morning and an emotional work session in the evening, or just do the emotional work spontaneously when situations arise?
