The Emotional Vocabulary Guide

50 Emotions Named, Defined, and Shown in Context — So You Can Answer the Question

You feel more than you can say. That gap costs you in every conversation that matters.

This is for:

For the adult whose emotional vocabulary stops at fine, stressed, and upset, who is about to do workbook-based self-reflection and needs the language first.

The Name It First Experience

Fifty emotions, defined and shown in context. Your Emotional Vocabulary Kit is a reference for the person who reaches the question what are you feeling and writes I don't know. Each emotion is named, distinguished from the ones it gets confused with, and placed in a sentence. Use it before any workbook that asks you to name what is happening inside you.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. If someone asked you right now how you are actually feeling — not 'fine' or 'stressed' — could you give them three specific, different words?
  2. Have you ever been in the middle of a conversation about something that matters and realized you didn't have the language to say what you were actually experiencing?
  3. What would it mean to be able to name exactly what you feel — not just in a workbook, but in the moments when it counts most?
