> Dinah, you will be happy to know that the first activity we did was fill up a paper with colors and shapes and identify what emotions we felt with each color. As in Yellow = chaos, Sage = calm, etc. I thought of you immediately.
Independent invention!!! I love it! I'll have to tell my therapist about that. He thought my color wheel was very clever. In fact, I think he clung to the memory of it for years to prove to himself that I had potential. He'll be pleased to hear that.
I like the addition of shapes! Mine was a strict color wheel with colors and shades of colors forming a circle and intensities forming the width. But in one corner, I had a swirling mess of blobs of different colors, including colors not seen on the color wheel. That was my chaos, or meltdown or hysteria. I referred to it for years as "that swirly corner with spring green."
