The Perfect Presentation NEEDS AND FEELINGS

FEELINGS INVENTORY

The following are words we use when we want to express a combination of emotional states and
physical sensations. This list is neither exhaustive nor definitive. It is meant as a starting place to
support anyone who wishes to engage in a process of deepening self-discovery and to facilitate
greater understanding and connection between people.

There are two parts to this list: feelings we may have when our needs are being met and feelings
we may have when our needs are not being met.
