What is a Feelings Wheel?

A Feelings Wheel is a visual tool that helps individuals identify and articulate what they are feeling. Originally developed by psychologists, this tool categorizes emotions to simplify the process of self-reflection and communication. It serves as a bridge to greater self-understanding and better interpersonal relationships by breaking down complex feelings into more manageable parts.

Different Types of Feelings Wheels

The Feelings Wheel comes in various formats, each tailored to different needs and preferences:

Gottman Feelings Wheel: Developed by relationship expert Dr. John Gottman, this model is widely used in therapy and relationship counseling.
Lindsay Braman Feelings Wheel: Known for its artistic design and inclusive approach, this version is popular among younger audiences.
Feelings Color Wheel: This variant uses colors to associate emotions, making it an intuitive tool for those who think visually.

How to Use a Feelings Wheel

Using a feelings wheel is straightforward:

Identify what you feel at a basic level (e.g., happy, sad, angry).
Use the wheel to refine these emotions (e.g., from happy to joyful or ecstatic).
Reflect on what might be causing these feelings to address or embrace them effectively.

Expanded Emotions:

Each of these core emotions can then be broken down into subtler and more specific feelings. Here’s how they might typically be expanded, you can copy and paste to adjust the wheel options for your own use.
