The Feeling Wheel: Developed by Dr. Gloria Willcox PO Box 48363 St. Petersburg FL 33743
|
|
“When I originally signed up for the opportunity to be a part of this cohort, I thought I would be leaving with only tools and lessons learned to better serve our community at Co.act. I couldn’t have imagined how transformational this opportunity would be for me on a personal level as well.
Over a 6‑month period, L’Orèal McCollum and Dr. Michael Chan-Frazier LPC of BEAM led us through training sessions exploring a range of topics surrounding trauma, mental health and healing within the Black community. My colleague and I admired how BEAM helped create a supportive and brave space every time we connected through Zoom.
Before diving into tough conversations, I loved how BEAM would start off each session with The Feeling Wheel. What I love about this tool is how it challenged me to intentionally take a pause and conduct a body scan to identify what feelings were showing up in my body.
As nonprofit professionals, it’s easy for us to get caught up in the motions of working at a rapid pace that we forget to slow down. This practice served as a reminder to gracefully check-in with ourselves and honor where we are in that moment.” — Charnae Sanders, Co.act Detroit Program Coordinator
