> My supervisor get into collegial debates all the time about whether feelings cause thoughts/behaviors or the other way around. Today he objected to the "accompanying" when talking about feelings and thoughts. As a CBT, he views feelings as the *result* of thoughts. I just don't agree with this on a gut level.
>I'm currently trying to wade through "The EMOTIONAL BRAIN: THE MYSTERIOUS UNDERPINNINGS OF EMOTIONAL LIFE". The chapter I'm on discusses the research on that eternal debate in depth. I think I'll have to read it a few times before I really understand what I think about it, though my gut tells me that at least portions of emotions precede cognition, although they may be reinforced by the cognitions.
