The Feelings Files
About the feeling files
- The more you understand your emotions, the easier it becomes to manage them.
- Each 'feeling file' explores a common emotion — how it feels in your mind and body, why it happens, and ways to cope.
- Emotions are messages from your brain and body. Understanding them helps you look after your wellbeing and respond, not just react.

Anger
Anger often hides other feelings — like hurt, fear, or frustration.
It’s a natural emotion, but it can cause problems if it builds up or gets out in ways that hurt you or others.
Here you’ll explore how anger works in your body and brain, and how to express it or release it in healthy ways.
Loneliness
Loneliness isn’t just about being alone — it’s about feeling unseen or disconnected.
Even people who seem popular can feel lonely sometimes.
This page helps you understand why loneliness happens, how to reach out (even when it feels hard), and how small steps can help you feel part of something again
Embarassment and shame
Embarrassment and shame can make you want to disappear — but they’re part of being human. This file helps you understand where they come from, why they can hit hard, and how to move through them with kindness for yourself.
