The Emotions Workbook (Plus Skills Workbook)

The Emotions Workbook (Plus Skills Workbook)

The Emotions Workbook (Plus Skills) is a comprehensive, neurodivergent-affirming guide to understanding and working with emotions.
Across 350+ pages, it blends science, self-reflection, and practical tools to help you make sense of your emotional world — and support others in doing the same.

Divided into two main sections — Understanding Emotions and Working With Emotions — the workbook covers:

Workbook One: Understanding Emotions

• Theories and definitions of emotion

• The function of emotions in daily life

• The brain science behind emotional experience

This workbook offers a clear, visual walkthrough of what emotions are, how they form, and why they matter — weaving together research, lived experience, and accessible explanations.

Workbook Two: Working With Emotions

• Identifying, labeling, and exploring emotions

• Approaching emotions with curiosity

• Reframing, unhooking, and redirecting thoughts

• Completing the stress cycle

• Using “reptilian relaxers” for grounding and calm

• Practicing distress tolerance and emotional recovery

Skills are paired with reflection prompts, visuals, and practical strategies designed to support real-life application — whether you’re navigating your own emotions or helping someone else do the same.

Emotion Regulation Cards

Included with the workbook is a printable set of Emotion Regulation Cards — quick, visual reminders of key strategies. Use them as part of your emotional regulation toolkit or keep them nearby as gentle prompts to help you pause, reset, and reconnect with your body and emotions.

• On an iPad or Tablet. You can open the PDF in an app like GoodNotes, Notability or Noteshelf → write directly on the pages with a stylus or keyboard. These apps allow typing, highlighting, and handwriting with an Apple Pencil. You just import your PDF workbook, and it becomes “fillable” by writing or typing.
• On a Computer. If you’re on a computer, you can type your reflections right onto the workbook pages by opening the PDF in Adobe Reader (free) or another PDF viewer. Some people also like to keep a separate digital journal or Word/Google Doc open alongside the workbook, copying over prompts and writing more freely there.
