IN OTHER WORDS
Because 'fine' isn't a feeling.
Tactile feelings wheels, pillows, and wooden tools designed to help you name what's inside—at home, in therapy, or in the classroom.
THE FEELINGS WHEEL
More words. More understanding.
A feelings wheel starts with a handful of core emotions at the center — happy, sad, angry, afraid — and radiates outward into more specific ones. Each ring pushes the feeling more precise, until “upset” becomes “resentful,” or “annoyed,” or “disappointed.”
You don’t have to already know the word. That’s the point. When “fine” is the only thing on offer, the wheel gives someone somewhere to start pointing instead of guessing — and precise language is what actually moves a conversation forward.
BESTSELLER
Feelings Wheel Pillow
Faux suede on the outside, the full wheel printed right on it. Built to be picked up, held, pressed into — comforting and grounding in a way a flat surface can’t manage.
A poster stays on the wall. This stays wherever you’re sitting — couch, desk chair, the corner of a therapy room — so the wheel’s already in reach instead of something you have to get up and find.
MADE FOR THE WORK YOU DO
Tools for turning feelings into words.
Therapists
“Fine” is often where a client stops. The wheel gives them somewhere to point when a word won’t come on its own — so the session keeps moving instead of stalling on silence.
Coaches
Half of most first sessions goes to figuring out what’s actually going on before you can build a plan around it. The wheel gets you both there faster.
Educators
A wheel on the wall gives a child something to point to before a big feeling turns into a bigger problem — precise language instead of a trip to the office.

WHY IN OTHER WORDS
Because finding the words changes what comes next.
When emotional states feel overwhelming or vague, naming them brings immediate clarity. In Other Words was created to transform psychological frameworks into beautiful, physical objects that invite ease, curiosity, and deeper connection—wherever you need it.
It started with a personal need for something tactile — a lived understanding of how it feels when the words don’t come easily. In Other Words turns feelings wheels into pillows, plaques, and posters, because for a lot of us, having something to point to beats trying to describe it.
