I think a lot of people just lack the ability to analyze their own mind and a lot of therapy is oriented towards that. Personally I think I'm rather good at analyzing my own thoughts and feelings and so I find exercises like this pretty useless and silly. Like "who knew you could feel more than one emotion at a time?"... people don't know this? Hell, a lot of the time I feel entirely contradictory emotions simultaneously, it's incredibly common. During a session recently my therapist said something like "that sounds like depression" and I responded "yes, that's kinda my default state. Labeling it doesn't make it go away and just because these thoughts come from a place of depression doesn't mean they are wrong" and she seemed a bit confused as to how to proceed from there, like just pointing it out is enough for most people or something.
