ANIMAL THEORY of EMOTION
Emotion is Not a Disorder
ILANA KRONICK, Ph.D.
The seminar will provide an in-depth exposition of Animal Theory of Emotion
SATURDAY, APRIL 6th, 2024
10am - 5pm (lunch provided)
Animal Theory of Emotion is the principle that when you’re very emotional, you’re not mentally ill-- you’re just overprotecting yourself out of instinct: you’re on animal. Emotion is not a disorder, it is a distortion: an amplified mental mistake that occurs when your evolved mind is hijacked by your primal impulses.
Drawing from principles of dialectical behavioural therapy, evolutionary psychology, and attachment theory, Animal Theory of Emotion uses simple interventions and fundamental frames to quickly manage the process of emotional reactivity, and clearly understand emotionality and personality without medicalization
