My husband gives thoughts, not feelings, too. And I've had a few clients who also did that.
If you go to this site: http://www.dbtselfhelp.com/html/emotion_regulation1.html and look at handout 4 (a-m), you'll get all the emotions words you can handle, and then some.
Handout 3 is also good for learning to identify feelings based on looking at all the clues available.
These are two of my favorites from the DBT "Skills Training Manual".
