What Is The Emotional Seasons™?
A holistic and research-backed framework to support emotional awareness and regulation in both children and adults. I use the inspiration of nature combine with visual tools to help people understand and master the art of emotional regulation in real life.
This framework maps four emotional states to the four seasons of nature:
​
Spring
Excited, silly, anxious
Summer
Fire & Fury
Angry, overwhelmed
Autumn
Clear & Calm
Focused, calm, engaged
Winter
Tired & Slow
Sad, withdrawn, fatigued
State of being
Jumpy & Jittery​
​
Emotional
Tone
