Why should that distinction be made? Is a sensation more harmful than a thought?
Sometimes the sensation arises out of a thought, but sometimes it precedes it. But I am not disputing how AVRT sees it. That, I get.
As a practical matter, recognition of the sensation, or thought, whichever the order, helps in dissociating from it.
