![]() And with that many feelings, 34,000, how do we then use the feeling wheel as part of therapy?Ĭhristy Wilkie: Sure. And then even farther from there to kind of expand your emotional intelligence and really kind of identify what you're feeling. And so the feelings wheel breaks it down into the big emotions and then it delineates it farther from there. And so for people to put words on that is really difficult. And human beings, as a random fact, feel about 34,000 different emotions. Because sometimes those big words that we learned from one we're like nine years old is really what they tell us when we're talking about emotions is that most people talk about their emotions like a nine year old does. And it works out to kind of further delineate what the actual feeling is. So it starts with like the main emotions that we feel like happy, sad, mad, surprised, disgusted. And then how do we use that in therapy?Ĭhristy Wilkie: The Feelings Wheel is a wheel and it works from the inside out. First of all, I'd like you to kind of tell us what the feelings wheel is. Tim Unsinn: Today's topic is feelings wheel. ![]() And to try to help people find their healing and really their potential in life and realizing that they don't have to be miserable, that they can, they can have some control over their lives and live it to the fullest. So as I grew up and I developed that passion into really focusing in on mental health and understanding the stigma that's around it, and really having people be validated that the way that they feel is okay, but they can also feel better. Helping children has always been a passion of mine since as long as I can remember. My dad was a therapist, so I kind of grew up with that being a part of my language. I've been passionate about mental health from a very young age. And I think that everybody deserves to try to live their best life. I really believe in the strength of the human spirit. Why do you do what you do?Ĭhristy Wilkie: You know, I couldn't imagine doing anything else. And I don't think that means the feeling I get when I'm behind the wheel, but we'll get into that in just a second. Tim Unsinn: We're going to get into today's topic, which is the feelings wheel.
