July 15, 2025 Naming the Storm: Why Emotional Vocabulary Matters
What if the words you use to describe how you feel could actually change how you heal?
In this episode of The Word Within, we explore why naming our emotions is one of the most powerful tools for self-awareness. From anxiety and irritation to joy and disappointment, language gives us clarity — and clarity gives us choice.
Drawing from psychology and the science of emotional granularity, we look at how emotions are made up of five key components and why labelling what you feel can help you regulate it.
We also introduce Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions, a visual guide to understanding the complexity of feelings beyond just “good” or “bad”.
Listen if you’ve ever said 'I’m fine' when you weren’t — and want to start understanding what’s really going on inside.
