Visual mood / emotion entry option
Create the ability to select emotions / moods from a psychology tool in form of a colour wheel or other visual design/framework, such as Plutchik’s wheel of emotions or the Geneva emotion wheel. For alexithymic and/or more visually oriented people, being able to choose an emotion from an established list is far easier than coming up with the words for it on one’s own. It also helps to narrow down more complex emotions from basic or vague ones like good/bad/angry - eg. “sad” refines to “lonely”, “neglected”, “abandoned” etc These tools can help develop skills in recognising emotions, how they relate to each other, and mindfulness of feelings, resulting in improved emotional regulation over time.
