I guess I'm still confused then. I thought what was being said was that feeling was not the action but can lead to the action. But you are saying emotion leads to the action. If that is the case, then how are emotions and feelings different? arrgh

No it's feelings, not thoughts, I'm talking about. Like my T can sense I'm sad without my saying anything. So he's not reading my thoughts, but my feeling? He's pretty good about not attempting to read my thoughts so he seems to have learned the "no mind reading" lesson.
I'm getting confused! I tend to use the word "feeling" and not "emotion." Like in therapy I will sometimes say, "I feel sad," or "I feel happy," or "I feel shy", but never "I am having the emotion of sadness right now." That would be weird to say that.
