How to use it

  1. Start anywhere on the wheel and look for a word or symbol that feels close.
  2. Choose one, several, unsure, or pass.
  3. Use the pointer, circle a section, or add a word that is missing.

Reflection prompts

  • Which word feels closest, and which words do not fit?
  • Are two or more feelings present together?
  • What would you like another person to understand right now?

Facilitator guidance

Use for optional opening, closing, or routine check-ins. Treat the wheel as a vocabulary aid rather than a complete map of emotion.

Adaptations & accessibility

  • Offer a reduced-word wheel or symbol-only overlay.
  • Read choices aloud without requiring eye contact or speech.
  • Ensure meaning is available without relying on color alone.
