Identify & Rate Feelings Therapy Poster

nice poster, easy to guage feelings on thermometer

A very helpful tool in helping children talk about the intensity of their feelings. Some of my kids like to use it as a charades game and they act out the emotions listed on the sides..... which opens up all kinds of conversation about verbal and nonverbal communication.

This really helps me with my clients. May need to order another one.lol.

Not exactly what I was expecting. I was able to post it in my office at my cubicle but will save it for an office later in my career for viewing. I like the poster size one that I made of this for portability.

Don’t buy this chart. Some these supposed “feelings” are actually judgements!For example, my husband and I had a huge fight and almost got divorced because I said I felt rejected. “Rejected” is listed as a feeling but it’s actually a judgment because it implies that someone else is “doing something to you”. It would’ve been better to say I feel lonely or sad.What I have learned on my own, not from this chart, is that there are basically five feelings: glad sad mad bad and afraid.Other words found on the chart like this one:Hurt, control, neglect, selfish, revenge, disappointment, discouragement, isolation, distressed, doubt.I second complaint with this chart is that all of the emotions listed are Mixed up with no grouping of general quality of feeling. I’m not even in alphabetical order!

The Feelings Poster dramatizes the emotional rating positive to negative feelings; but more importantly offers someone "shut down" and/or unpracticed in awareness of how they really feel to identify the word or connection to unblock the sensation which needs expression for a healthy life.

Teaching my autistic child how to label, identify and use emotions appropriately. This has been very useful!

My students don't refer to this as much as I thought they would. It's a good poster though and I call their attention to it.
