28 Key Feelings
of Traumatized Children

Feelings are signals we must learn to recognize, interpret, and responsibly respond to. Provide your child with the Feeling Faces illustration to them identify their feelings. Then ask your child, "If your feeling could talk, what would it say?" Compare this with the statements provided for that feeling. Consider which family the feeling is in: Sadness, Joy, Fear, Disgust, or Anger. Then evaluate together the extent to which the feeling is telling the truth or misleading the child as well as the best way to respond to it instead of letting it take over!

Mother of 12 year old Girl

"My daughter can now, when asked, explain how she is feeling and why she is feeling it without delay and without major tears, which tells me her amygdala is not worked up. She can name the emotion behind her attitude or behavior. Used to be mad 100% of the time. Now her answer is usually in the sad category."
