Materials:
Paper, drawing or painting supplies, optional collage materials or textures.
Instructions:
Create a color wheel or abstract art piece that represents your common emotions and their energy levels. You can use different textures, shapes, or symbols to show how each emotion feels in your body or mind. You do not need to include every emotion. Focus on the ones that are most relevant or frequent for you.
Goals:
This activity builds emotional insight by helping you explore how different emotions show up with different levels of intensity or activation. It supports DBT skills like recognizing emotional patterns, naming emotions, and identifying their impact on your body and behavior.
