Emotional reactions have many triggers §

Emotions deeply affect our thoughts, actions, and world view and can be triggered by a variety of stimuli.

Thoughts (in addition to physical stimuli) can cause an emotional reaction.

A feeling (or a mental reaction to the physical emotional state) can trigger an irrational emotional response which can in turn trigger more feelings, thoughts, and emotions in a vicious, recursive cycle.
