Hand Model of the Brain
(Dr. Dan Siegel)
A short, memorable video from Dr. Dan Siegel using a simple hand model to explain how the brain works — and what happens when we "flip our lid" and get emotionally overwhelmed. A great primer on the neuroscience of emotional regulation.
Feelings Wheel
An interactive, color-coded wheel that helps you move from a vague feeling to a precise one — starting with a core emotion and branching outward to more specific words for what you're experiencing. Simple, free, and useful for building emotional vocabulary.
Values Cards Exercise (think2perform)
A free interactive card-sort exercise that helps you identify and prioritize your core personal values. Useful as a first step toward understanding where your everyday behavior may be out of step with what matters most to you.
