SKILL

EMOTIONAL AWARENESS & LITERACY

I am attentive and aware of my emotions. I can use the Affect

Mat to help me describe my pleasant and unpleasant feelings.

I have a range of words to describe my affect so it is precise

(granulated). I use the emotion wheel to help me.

I am in tune with my thoughts and feelings from moment to

moment – I can notice and explain them and how they may be

linked to each other.

I can identify the 5C need (and specific card with this) behind my

‘affect’ accurately.

EMOTIONAL TOLERATION

I let myself feel all different emotions, the pleasant and the

unpleasant, rather than trying to push them away.

When I have an upsetting thought or feeling, I can let myself

experience it and think it through, rather than ignoring it.

I can manage the feelings of frustration or disappointment when

things go wrong (frustration or disappointment control) in ways

that are ok for others around me e.g. by explaining what is up

rather than screaming.
