As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I’ve found La Rueda de los Sentimientos by Feelings Found to be an invaluable tool in my practice. Its clear, visual structure makes it easy for clients to identify and articulate their emotions, something that can often be a challenge. The wheel organizes emotions into primary, secondary, and tertiary categories, helping clients move from broad feelings to more specific ones. This helps foster emotional awareness and enables clients to express their feelings in a more accurate and manageable way. It’s particularly effective for clients who struggle with emotional avoidance or regulation, providing them with a concrete tool to explore and process their emotions.
What I especially appreciate about La Rueda de los Sentimientos is its versatility across various therapeutic approaches, whether it's used in individual therapy, couples counseling, or family sessions. It works beautifully in cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and even narrative therapy. Whether it’s to open up a session, facilitate emotional regulation, or support journaling exercises, the wheel encourages deeper emotional exploration. It’s an essential tool for helping clients build emotional intelligence, communicate more effectively in relationships, and gain greater self-awareness. I highly recommend La Rueda de los Sentimientos to clinicians working with Spanish-speaking clients who want a practical, accessible tool for enhancing emotional expression and understanding.
