I'm currently undergoing CBT as well. I'm glad you posted the list...it's a valuable tool for understanding the mechanics of ones emotional responses.
The most enlightening thing I've learned from the therapy is that thoughts always preceed emotion. Sometimes the thought is so bound to the emotion that you may not even be aware of the thought.
I realized this in my own life when I examined situations in which emotion (usually anger) seemed to spring up of it's own volition in response to an event.
Anyway, best of luck with the therapy. I'd be interested in hearing more of your experiences with it.
Have you read Feeling Good or The Feeling Good Handbook by David Burns?
