Dr. Aaron T. Beck elaborates on his Cognitive Model theory, describing how he believes that no connections between environmental events and emotion exist without having first perceived the environmental event.
Thanks for these videos. I am not sure I agree with Dr. Beck's take on this. Emotions can for sure arise in response to an perception/environmental stimulus. Emotions can also arise absent any preceding perception/environmental stimulus. This becomes clear if one spends any time practicing insight meditation. Sitting still, in a quiet room, following the breath, one gets familiar with the mind's habits. Emotions arise automatically. Thoughts/images arise automatically. The model of discreet activating event, belief, consequence doesn't map up to the reality. Emotions can arise of their own accord--no activating thought, no activating event. Emotions can arise in a jumble of thought and image with no discernible linear chain like the ABCs. Multiple possibilities. I am wondering if Dr. Beck ever explored meditation.
The emotion that is knit to the delusion/perception wins every time .. and in looking back with lucidity, you still will not be able to discern what was real and what was fantasy. So no, emotion trumps everything ..
It seems like Dr. Beck does not differentiate between emotions, feelings, and mood, that all three have different time course. Also, studies on subliminal processing of affective stimuli show that conscious perception is not necessary for a response to an emotional or arousing stimulus.

I'm sure Dr. Beck knows that perceptions don't have to be conscious processes.

Automatic thoughts are unconscious
Wrong!
