What is it?
This thermometer-style tool helps clients name and understand the intensity of their emotions. It’s a practical way to spot how feelings build, and what support might be needed to manage them before things boil over.
 
It’s helpful for:
Young people who struggle with emotional regulation, especially those who escalate quickly or shut down. Great for anger, anxiety, or sensory overload work.
 
How to use it:
Go through each level of the thermometer and fill out what the client feels, looks like, and needs at each stage. Revisit regularly to build awareness, prepare coping strategies, and celebrate emotional growth.
