Poster - Feelings Wheel (Willcox).pdfWhat to do:
When you are feeling a strong or difficult emotion, start by labelling it.
To connect with others, ask them, "How are you feeling?"
Why it works:
Naming emotions bridges the gap between thoughts and feelings. It brings our emotions to the surface and reminds us that we are not our emotions. It also reminds us that emotions are only temporary.
