What Is a Feelings Chart?

It includes:

• A structured list of emotions and feeling words
• Primary and secondary emotions
• A visual emotion wheel / feelings wheel layout
• A mood chart to track emotional intensity

Feelings charts are commonly used in:

• Therapy and counseling
• Classrooms and schools
• Parenting and emotional development
• Trauma and emotional regulation work

What Is a SUD Scale?

The SUD Scale (Subjective Units of Distress Scale) is a simple tool used to measure how strong a feeling or emotion is at any given moment.

It uses a 0–10 scale:

• 0 = No distress (calm, relaxed)
• 1–3 = Mild feelings
• 4–6 = Moderate emotions
• 7–9 = Strong distress
• 10 = Extreme or overwhelming feelings
