Reading your post I had a horrible flashback with the line, "how does this make you feel."

The psychologist who taught pastoral counseling absolutely hated that line. Mentioning it in class or mentioning it in one of our videotaped counseling sessions (where we were counseling a volunteer) merited a long diatribe on how that phrase was so evil.

I can hear it now, "No one can control your feelings. Those are under your (their) own control. Etc., etc."

I will be sending you a bill from my counselor.
