How it Works

Step 01

find your base emotion

Each petal on The Feelings Wheel represents a base emotion. Find the base that you feel best represents your current emotional state.

Step 02

narrow it down

On the same petal, look at the first row of words. As you read through the word bank, identify which one seems most accurate with the emotion you are experiencing.

Step 03

get specific

As you go up to the second row, you’ll be able to choose between more specific variations of emotions. You may have an 'ah-ha' moment when you find a word to accurately describe how you’re feeling.

After identifying your specific emotion, be sure to reflect on it. A couple options for processing this could include journaling about the feeling, talking with a friend, or taking notes to bring to your next therapy session.

Every Therapist Needs This

I have been using this wheel during my therapy sessions with Client's and it has been a game changer! The functionality of the wheel, the aesthetics, and the easy accessibility make this a great tool to use rather than the traditional wheels on a pillow/paper.

Oh, and my Client's are loving sifting through the emotions compared to looking at all of the feelings on a traditional wheel at one time!

Get the core emotions right!

I don’t think the research supports the emotions listed as primary here. I use these with clients, and I don’t want to teach them that anxiety is an emotion. In fact, it blocks emotion. Would love to see this modified to start with core emotions- anger, sadness, desire, joy, fear -and help ppl connect what happens for them to the core emotion.

Hi Elizabeth,
Just wanted to take a second to say thank you for the feedback! You are absolutely correct that the petals do not reflect what is commonly cited as the core emotions. Our previous rendition of this product did have those listed, though we often received feedback that the wheel did not feel intuitive when identifying more specific emotions because many people struggle to name fear, for example, before another emotion. We chose to pivot to a more user friendly model with the goal to encourage emotional specifity rather than teaching core emotions. We hope this helps to understand our decision to veer from those core categories!

A RESOURCE I’LL USE FOREVER

as someone who works in behavioral therapy, it can be a struggle to pinpoint what a client may be feeling exactly or even what they may feel generally. After using the wheel for two sessions I have had elementary aged clients tell me that it helps them express themselves when they can’t find the words. A lot of behaviors stem from misunderstanding/frustration, and with these wheels it removes some of those barriers! forever grateful that I came across feelings found! Thank you thank you!!
