I did a color wheel with crayons. With ranges of shades and intensities. And then took a list of emotion words and matched them with places on the chart. For a long time, I didn't use the words. I'd say I was feeling bright yellow, or lavender, or brick red, then look backwards for the word.
My therapist thought it so creative of me, but it was really extraordinarily detailed and rational and left brained. He was so impressed that I made one for him, even gave him the better one. It became part of my file of course, and when the clinic closed, he couldn't take it with him. It's in some storage room somewhere, waiting out the years to shredding, I'm guessing. :( And the one I kept for myself wasn't nearly as good.
Moral to the story. Keep the good stuff for yourself.
