If that is the distinction, I think my T is really good at detecting feelings, without having me express them as emotions. Sometimes his recognition of my feelings without my having to tell him I am having that feeling, helps me be able to express the emotion to him.
Watch it, sunny! We are not supposed to claim that anyone can know what another person is thinking! That would be mind-reading, and WE KNOW that no one can do that.
