Lesson Overview

16.16 – What to Do With Feelings You Can’t Name: Some emotions are so complex they don’t fit into simple words like “sad” or “angry.” You might feel a strange heaviness, confusion, or tension that you can’t explain. This doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you—it means your emotional vocabulary needs expansion. When you can’t name a feeling, focus on describing sensations instead: where it sits in your body, what it reminds you of, or how strong it feels. Visual tools like color charts or mood wheels can help you find words that match your experience. Talking with someone or journaling freely can uncover the layers underneath. As you learn to name emotions accurately, you give your brain power over them instead of being trapped in mystery. Each label adds clarity and reduces fear because what’s known feels safer. Naming emotions isn’t about overanalyzing—it’s about emotional literacy. The more fluent you become in understanding your feelings, the more control you gain over how you handle them in real time.
