DBT Self-Help Resources: Emotions List

Using an Emotions List to help Label an Emotion

Some people are more adept at labelling their emotions than others. Some people just can’t seem to name what they are currently feeling. They might say that they felt bad or upset, but pinning down what that actually means for them is more challenging. Many people walk around in this kind of emotional fog.

Unfortunately, if you don’t know what you are feeling, you can’t do much to change it. People who can name their emotions are more capable of managing them, so it is important to become more familiar with your emotions and learn to identify them.

Once you are more capable of naming your emotions, you’ll have more choices in terms of what to do with an emotion if it makes you feel uncomfortable and you would prefer to at least reduce its intensity. Many people with emotion dysregulation grow up without learning this important information, so for some people it takes a lot of time to get the hang of naming their emotions. Be patient. If you get frustrated, reframe this process as if you are learning a new language. In fact, that’s exactly what is happening: you are learning the language of emotion.

Anytime you are unable to identify the emotion you are experiencing refer to the Emotions List. Reading through it, you should be able to find a word that closely describes the emotion that you are experiencing.

“Come out, come out, where ever you are…”

“Do you think you can hide from me?”

“I’m not going to hurt you.”

{Text}: You enjoy that shower? You should drop the towel.

{Text}: I know you’re home alone.

“Why don’t you let me inside? I just want to talk.”

“It’s too late for you to be out by yourself.”

{Text}: Good morning. I enjoyed last night, you’re really cute when you sleep.

“Why did you lock the door? Let me in!”

“Ssh, it’s okay! We’re all alone now, no one will bother us out here.”

“You can’t get away from me!”

“I love you…don’t you love me?”

“We were meant to be together, you can’t change that.”

“Please, leave me alone!”

“I don’t know who you are!”

“Wh—where have you brought me?”

“Get away! Don’t touch me!”

“I don’t belong to you!”

“Please…I want to go home!”

“Uh…what exactly do you mean by that? Cause I’m getting some mixed signals.”

“Um…it’s nice to meet you, David.” Alice can’t help but look away for a moment when he takes her hand. “I’m Alice…” She tells him softly. “Don’t worry about my last name. But um, what drew you to me instead of all the other girls?”

“It’s wonderful to meet you, Alice,” He let her hand fall back to her side,”What drew me to you? Well, I can tell when a girl is different, or at least I think I have that sense.” He smiled,”Different and beautiful is what I saw when I laid my eyes on you. Alice.”

“Uh…what exactly do you mean by that? Cause I’m getting some mixed signals.”

“Well, no, of course not. But I do have trust issues…and I’m not really that beautiful, but thank you I suppose.” She tucks some of her hair behind her ear. “Who are you anyway?”

David nodded,”Trust issues, I understand.” He sighs, shaking his head,” I’m David....Harper if you’re interested in a last name.” He takes her hand in his, trying his bed not to do it in a creepy way, if that was possible,”And who is this beautiful girl?”

Tom was in the middle of fixing his hair and immediately put his hand back down to his side,”H-.Hey, wow…” Jackie was good, this gay was…holy shit. He cleared his throat,”Sorry….um, Tom.” He held out his hand with a smile

Dean shook it,”Name’s Dean.” He had to admit this wasn’t looking bad at all. Not yet he was going to give it a shot,”right so um where you want to go?”

“Oh, right...well I heard you wanted a drinking buddy....” He let his hand fall back to his side,” So, just out? I mean, I heard you wanted to be alone so, I brought beer with me.” He raised an arm that was holding a pack of beer. He smiled softly,”But if you’d like to go somewhere, uh, I’m not familiar with the area...”

Dean was nervous it wasn’t his typical of ordeal at all. Checking himself out in the mirror quickly he quickly went and answered the door,”Hey.”

Tom was in the middle of fixing his hair and immediately put his hand back down to his side,”H-.Hey, wow...” Jackie was good, this gay was...holy shit. He cleared his throat,”Sorry....um, Tom.” He held out his hand with a smile

“Uh…what exactly do you mean by that? Cause I’m getting some mixed signals.”

He chuckled,” Ah, sorry, to eat…I’d love to take you out to eat. Or I guess it could be ladies choice.”

“You want to take a stranger out to eat?” Alice questions. “How come?”
