Feelings Wheel 2.0 (FW 2.0), an updated version of the 1982 Feelings Wheel (referred to as FW 1.0) created by Dr. Gloria Willcox.
FW 2.0 is a GRAPHIC and COLORFUL model that is visually attractive.
FW 2.0 incorporates spatial modeling, vocabulary, behavior, and body sensations in an integrated visual model to identify, understand, communicate, and regulate emotions.
Many examples of ideas and methods for using FW 2.0 with different populations are included, both in self-help and mental health settings.
Interoception is an increasingly popular modern approach integrated with FW 2.0. Interoception is the sense that translates physical and bodily reactions into emotions. Interoception identification is a way to understand and regulate emotions not found with FW 1.0. Interoception integration to FW 2.0 will strongly cross-appeal to people interested in mindfulness and somatic experiences.
FW 2.0 appears to be the only resource that presents a theoretical basis and clear presentation of all the various approaches using FW 1.0. Therefore, even if people want to use only FW 1.0, this book would be the only one available that shows an in-depth evidence base, a variety of methods, and different ideas for using FW 1.0.
