Abstract
In cognitive therapy, a dissociation sometimes occurs between a person’s rational belief and the way it “feels” to that person. This phenomenon, though widely recognized, has received little theoretical analysis or research. Clinical and nonclinical examples are presented, revealing a phenomenon that is a matter of more than mere curiosity. A variety of theoretical perspectives are investigated, including implicit/explicit cognitive processing, the generation of emotion, neuroscience, metacognition, the role of emotional memories, and compassion. The implications for cognitive therapy are considered briefly and some research avenues suggested. It is argued that an examination of this neglected phenomenon could aid cognitive case conceptualization and warrants further theoretical and clinical attention.
