There's a gap between knowing something is wrong, right, or complicated and being able to say it to another person. This free deck of 12 cards lives in that gap. Each card names a feeling and hands you words you could say out loud, so the hardest part, starting the sentence, is already done.
What Makes These Feelings Cards Different
Most emotion tools stop at naming the feeling. These go one step further and give you the sentence. Here's what's inside:
- 12 cards for common but hard-to-voice moments, like carrying too much, being at capacity, or wanting to be seen
- A short, honest description of each feeling, so you can find the one that fits
- Ready-made words for each card that you can borrow, quietly try, or adapt
- A closing note on saying feelings out loud as a skill you can practice
- Printable and fillable PDF versions, so you can read on-screen or hold the cards in your hand.
How to Use Them so They Fit Into Your Life
When you know something's off but can't find the words, read the card that fits closest. Try the words quietly to yourself first. If they're close enough, use them. If not, they'll often point you to the ones that are.
The words might not come out perfectly the first time, and that's fine. The person who matters will understand what you're trying to say. Keep the deck somewhere you'll reach for it before a conversation you've been putting off.
If you find it hard to know what you need or to ask for it, map out the patterns underneath and find a few small practices that fit where you are right now. You can start with a quick Liven test.
