Do you remember a time when you felt so angry that it was hard to describe? The feeling was intense, raw, and overwhelming. What was that feeling? Was it anger, sadness, fear, or excitement?

Maybe it was an emotion you’ve never felt before, or perhaps you thought it was something else when in reality it was a completely different feeling. Before you can start regulating your emotions, it’s important to understand what you are feeling. Giving your emotion a name is essential. This is where the usefulness of a “feelings wheel” comes into play.

Let's explore the different categories of emotions.

What do you do when someone you love is in a bad mood?

Sometimes our instinct is to fix it. Offer advice. Say something encouraging. Fill the silence.

But what if your presence is more powerful than your words?

Try this instead:

“That sounds really hard. I’m here.”

“Do you want to talk about it, or just sit together?”

“I don’t have a solution, but I won’t let you carry this alone.”

You don’t need to rescue someone from their emotions. Your calm presence might be the anchor they need most.

September is Su***de Prevention Month, and it’s a time to amplify connection, awareness, and hope.

Whether you’re silently struggling or supporting someone who is, know this: your emotions are valid, and you do not have to carry them alone.
Talking about su***de doesn’t encourage it—it invites connection and safety.
Need immediate support? Call or text 988, the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is here 24/7.
Let’s continue to speak up, reach in, and check on each other.

In trauma recovery, this can sound like:
“I should’ve known better.”
“I should’ve seen the signs.”
“It’s my fault—I let it happen.”

But here’s the truth: You made the best decisions with the information, safety, and capacity you had at the time.

Just because you know now doesn’t mean you knew then. Part of trauma work is reclaiming your past with gentleness.

Let’s shift the narrative together.

Not every decision has a “right” answer—but every choice deserves space to be made with clarity and compassion.

At R&T, we help clients make decisions with confidence and self-trust by looking at the whole story, not just a single moment.
