Here are a number of crossword puzzles that can help you to practice the skill of naming feelings (emotions) and underlying needs. While you are searching words to describe feelings you get a better "emotional vocabulary", you have more words to use when you talk about your emotions and you have more words to use when you ask another person what they are feeling.
Please first read the text References and workshops: Nonviolent Communication and Conflict Resolution And maybe some of the material on nonviolent communication referenced there before you start solving these crossword puzzles, but you can also just dive right in. You can also enter "list of feelings" or "list of needs" in your internet search engine, or look at nycnvc.org/feelings and /needs.
