Thanks
It's very rare that I can call up my emotional imagination like that. It needs the right state or mood or something, I don't know. I noticed it's easier if I am reading a CBT book that describes examples/anecdotes and I am like, ready with a rational system to give me a safe space

Clarifying:
I said “thoughts with any label” because along an exercise of mindfulness may appear any kind of thoughts, not only meaningful ones. Not only related to emotions. Any kind of thought, even non meaningful ones. It will depend on the moment you are in. You never know. You can’t force this. It’s your mind the one that generates them.

I always know what thought I'm thinking, though that doesn't mean I know the solution right away to all problems
I am still thinking that maybe you are talking about anxious thoughts?
BTW where I said that I can only do the working hypotheses stuff about my own attitudes...I think I sometimes can do it about other people's attitudes too but it requires a lot more of me to be able to. For now it requires a lot, including a lot of control of emotions to keep enough flexibility about it, also the "psychoeducation" I've been doing is needed. But I've been able to do it sometimes.
