> When I started therapy, he was really big on my naming emotions, especially after he found out I couldn't. So I drew this really intricate color chart using the big box of crayola crayons. I could then point to the color, and I had a cross-reference of moods attached. I did several of them before I got it right, then I gave one to him and kept one. "No, no. Not red. More of a brick. That would mean resentment, not anger."

>This sounds interesting. I know lots of people who can't identify emotions. some of my own kids. does this mean we all need to learn how to color again? my son who never would sit and color as a child has the most difficult time identifying, or even considering emotions today. is this why coloring is so important to a child? i'm serious. is there a connection?
