I've used this before with my kids to help them verbalize their feelings. Awesome tool!
I can imagine this being useful for people who write fiction, too
This was the first thing my therapist showed me when I started DBT therapy. I always forget to use it, even when I find myself wondering why I’m in a bad mood.
I thinks that should be a poster in every english classroom. I mean in countries with other official languages.
Our teachers always had to encourage us to use other (more nuanced) words than happy and sad.
Thank you for sharing this, opened some doors for me
Old but gold. It's quite useful; it's good to see it shared once more. Also, something similar (albeit in list form) was posted recently.
I frequently use freethesaurus.com to find "smacks of the same" variants.
I went through a great 2 year soberiety/life change program at the union gospel mission and we used those a lot in group. I remember trying to be a bit of a jerk and trying to pick the angry ones my first few groups but as you go outwards and more specific it really got me thinking. This wheel was sooo helpful in expressing myself and getting deeper into things I needed to share both in group and solo counseling. Thanks for the share brought back some good memories!!!
This is cool, but where's "desire/unfulfilled/needy/hungry/jealous/hungry/horny"? Seems like a big chunk of the pie that they missed.
Good point! This is an emotion wheel, but emotions are just one part of the larger concept of affects, which also include the appetites.
