Frequently asked questions

Why does naming emotions precisely help?
Research in affective neuroscience ('affect labelling', studied by Matthew Lieberman) shows that putting feelings into words reduces their intensity — the act of naming an emotion engages the rational prefrontal cortex and calms the emotional amygdala. 'Name it to tame it.' Most people have a limited everyday emotional vocabulary ('fine', 'stressed', 'good'), but the more precisely you can identify what you're feeling, the better you understand your needs and can respond helpfully. A feelings wheel expands that vocabulary.
