I am a creative therapist and I LOVE this tool. I find it is a great tool when working with children, young people and even some adults like this tool.
It's great for imagination and sometimes it can be difficult to verbally label a feeling or emotion, however by looking at the colours clients can find that they suddenly identify a feeling with a colour for example, red tends to be anger or embarrassment or shame. Blue tends to be sadness, depression, the ball with swirls of different colours in anxiety, stress, overwhelm and so forth you can get the idea. There are also different shades, I had one client who pointed out the dark green as "very jealous" , and then moved to the lighter green and said "slight jealousy now, but seeing that as a positive for change."
When we add in the emotion wheel this add more depth and exploration.
The other wonderful thing about this tool is that they light up and create cosy lights, sometimes it's just nice to have a focus point in the room, especially when things get difficult.
Many of my clients have commented on the lights and how cosy the room feels being able to just look at them!
