IC11 Short Course 28 - Feel the Feeling, Find the Strength: A Theory of Emotion - Linda Duncan, PhD

Description:

This workshop presents a theory of emotion and model for therapy, founded on the positive view that emotions offer us opportunities to realign with our inherent wholeness, once disruptions occur. The key lies in resolving the destabilizing effects of emotion with a stabilizing emotional and psychological strength. With fear, the strength is personal power, for example. The workshop includes principles and interventions. A map of emotion illustrates the arc of its occurrence from stimulus and effect to regulation and resolution.

Educational Objectives:

1. List four principles of this theory of emotion.
2. Explain how to match psychological strengths with four categories of emotion: fear, anger, sadness, and joy.
