Coping Wheel Printable, Feelings and Coping Skills Chart for Kids Teens Adults, Therapy Resource

Help kids, teens, and adults go from "I feel bad" to "I know what I'm feeling and what to do about it." The Coping Wheel pairs a feelings wheel with a ring of healthy coping skills, so naming an emotion leads straight to a practical next step. Created by the team at Paris Counseling for use in therapy sessions, classrooms, and at home.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Start in the center: pick the core feeling - Angry, Afraid, Surprised, Happy, Calm, or Sad.
2. Move to the middle ring to get more specific - for example frustrated, worried, lonely, confused, proud, or relieved.
3. Choose a coping skill from the outer ring that matches that feeling - take deep breaths, count to 10, talk to someone, journal, go for a walk, listen to music, write a thank-you note, and more.
