Emotion wheels

Learned today about the latest developments in the analysis of "climate emotions," nicely watercolored for the Climate Mental Health Network. Emotion wheels are apparently regularly used by psychologists, since it's easier to address emotions if you can name them. (They are aids to recognition only; in reality, one might have several of these at a time, and there's no suggestion of equivalence or proportionality.) 

Emotion words vary from language to language, of course; the wheel is based on work by Finnish scholar Panu Pikhala, who notes that Finnish doesn't distinguish feelings and emotions. But linguistic scrupulosity hasn't stopped CMHN from offering translations in thirty languages.

In whatever imperfect language, I think it's a wonderful improvement on having just "climate anxiety" or "climate dread" - and how nice to include some positive climate emotions, too! And unlike a list or scale, a wheel allows one to acknowledge that awareness of climate crisis touches us in different and shifting ways at many different times. (I love the watercolors!)

I wonder if there's an emotion wheel available for the anger, sadness and fear-ful lead-up to US regime change?
