Trauma Emotions and Needs Wheel Printable; Therapy Resource for Emotional Regulation & Trauma-informed Care

Seller's description

Overview:
The Trauma Emotions & Needs Wheel is a trauma-informed therapy resource that helps clients identify emotions, explore underlying needs, and build emotional awareness. Designed by a therapist, this resource bridges the gap between emotional awareness and core universal human needs to support emotional healing and trauma recovery. This tool is based on trauma-informed principles and helps users identify and name emotions that often arise from trauma—such as shame, fear, disgust, or anger—while also gently guiding them towards possible underlying unmet needs beneath those feelings (like safety, belonging, autonomy, or compassion). This wheel is an adaptation of a somatic emotion wheel or feelings wheel and acknowledges the emotional impact of trauma and offers a needs-based framework rooted in empathy and self-connection.
