Emotion Sensation Wheel | 7" Rigid Acrylic Disk

This acrylic disk is a professional-grade version of the Emotion Sensation Wheel designed for therapy, education, and household use. More than a standard feelings wheel, this unique chart helps people connect emotions with body sensations, making it easier to recognize, name, and understand feelings in real time.

Created by therapist and mental health illustrator Lindsay Braman, LMHCA, this wheel is based on research in somatic experiencing and emotional development. The inner rings show core and complex emotions, while the outer ring describes the physical sensations often linked to those emotions—a design especially helpful for neurodivergent individuals, literal thinkers, and anyone learning emotional regulation skills.

Built for durability, this acrylic wheel is printed in full color on rigid board nearly 1/8" thick (clipboard thickness). It’s durable enough for  daily handling in professional environments yet also perfect for display on a wall or shelf. We love this tool for display on an easel- within arms reach for pulling down to use it as a hands-on tool. Therapists, teachers, or parents can hold it, point to it, or pass it around to spark conversations.

• UNIQUE RESEARCH-BASED TOOL: Unlike most feeling wheels, on the Emotion Sensation Wheel, the inner rings show emotion names, while the outer ring lists physical sensations often experienced as part of those emotions.

• HAND-ILLUSTRATED BY A THERAPIST: Created by therapist Lindsay Braman, this tool merges clinical training, research, and accessibility though visual illustration.

• RESEARCH-ROOTED: This somatic emotion wheel was developed based on decades of research in neurobiology exploring how emotions manifest in the body, somatic informed therapy practices, and cross-cultural emotion mapping.

• DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: This version of the Emotion Sensation Wheel is vibrantly printed on rigid acrylic. The disk is about 140 mil thick (That's roughly 1/8" thick- or slightly thicker than a clipboard) making it durable enough for daily handling in professional therapy offices or school classrooms. 7 Inches diameter.
