"Today I Feel..." Emotions Card Deck
The “Today I Feel…” card deck was created by Dr. Stelli Munnis, a counselor and artist who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. Stelli loves exploring emotions and getting to know herself and others better. She drew each card in pencil, then colored the images using Copic markers (her favorite). Use the deck daily by setting aside cards that best express how you feel. (52 cards come in a clear plastic protective case)
Background
I drew the art for each card while I was feeling that particular emotion. I made them for myself, to help me process and understand what I was feeling, but also to be able to share my feelings with others. Over time, I shared the original cards with others, and the reaction was very positive. Several people encouraged me to reproduce the cards as a deck and to make them available to others.
The “Today I Feel…” cards are used by teachers, therapists, parents, couples and individuals who want to learn about and share how they’re feeling. Melinda Edwards, MD, founder of Darshan uses the cards with her autistic daughter Saachi, and the results have been profound.
