Create Therapeutic Conversations About Emotions
What are Emotioncubes?
At their simplest, Emotioncubes are a tool to create therapeutic conversations about emotions. A set of Emotioncubes contains twelve beautifully crafted solid wood cubes displaying prompts to help clients notice the emotional signals they are experiencing, understand what they mean, and decide what to do about them.
A set of Emotioncubes contains the following: Angercube, Disgustcube, Envycube, Fearcube, Guiltcube, Jealousycube, Joycube, Lovecube, Pridecube, Sadnesscube, Shamecube, and a Discussioncube.
Why work directly with emotions?
Emotions underpin almost all of our experiences and relationships with people, places, and things and shape our most intimate sense of who we are. Consider the following...
- Most therapists help people recognize and change how they think about their problems.
- Most people don't have problems with their thoughts, but with the emotions connected to their thoughts.
- Most thoughts and behaviors are driven by emotions such as fear, shame, anger, envy, love, guilt, pride etc.
- Most problems exist because people have too much or too little emotion about something.
- Most therapists received very little training in how to help people recognize and change their emotions.
- Most difficulties can be overcome by managing the emotions that arise.
Helping people to recognize, understand and manage their emotions is key to helping them overcome their problems.
How to use Emotioncubes
When a client is struggling with an emotion, the therapist asks them to select the Emotioncube that is most appropriate to them. The therapist then guides them through the process on each cube that helps them to:
1. Find the WORDS to name what they are experiencing.
2. Identify the EVENTS that led up to the emotion.
3. Describe the THOUGHTS that occur with the emotion.
4. Manage the URGES they have to act on the emotion.
5. Recognize the BODY SENSATIONS they feel during the emotion.
6. Comprehend the CHOICES they have to respond to the emotion
