1. I didn't know there was a wheel

but decades ago a therapist gave me a page of emotions, and yes, I still sometimes look to see beyond the basic emotions.

2. never heard of it, but I'll take a look...

seems like something I would have seen in working for an LCSW's office... and possibly in some "woo" meditation classes

3. ok, yeah...I've seen it in journaling...but never used it

I might need to print it out and paste it on the inside of my current trauma journal.

There was an instance the other day when I was feeling BIG emotions of rage and grief...but those weren't the actual words I wanted... so yeah.

Thank for the info...have you used them?

5. Not yet. I was feeling overwhelmed last week, googled

Feeling overwhelmed & found the articles. So down the Dr Google rabbit hole I went. My journaling about it this weekend was voluminous
