emotions or no emotions?

so last week my counselor said something interesting that i hadn't really thought about, but don't think i agree with. he mentioned that we didn't have emotions before coming to earth because emotions are a physical trait and we didn't have physical bodies. but the more i thought about it, i figured we don't have bodies between our death and resurrection either, yet i've been told we're learning and i believe we can love, which are physical emotions, right? so tell me your thoughts about this, although it's probably one of those answers we won't know while we're here.
