Worksheet Sheet Big feelings and staying steady

When You Cannot Name It

Get at a feeling that has no word yet, using shape, weight, and age instead.

Purpose: Get at a feeling that has no word yet, using shape, weight, and age instead.

When to use: Use this when something big is here and no word for it fits.

Worksheet prompts

  1. Draw it. A shape, a color, a scribble – whatever it looks like.
  2. If it had a size and a weight, what would they be?
  3. How old do you feel when it is here?
    Sometimes a feeling belongs to a much younger you.
  4. What does it need? Not what fixes it – what it needs.

You do not need the right word for it to count.
