The Somatics of Emotion

In this workshop we will be specifically engaging the somatic and behavioral patterns affiliated with primary emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, excitement, gratitude, and joy. For each of these affects we will consider things such as body changes that occur, the pro-social value of the emotion, and the information conveyed by the emotion.

LEARN MORE

This workshop will continue the explorations begun in the Somatics of Emotions workshop, delving more deeply into complex emotions such as heartbreak, despair, betrayal, humiliation, anguish, and disgust. We will consider the developmental tasks related to these emotions, their pro-social value, and their potential transitions into emotions such as gratitude, excitement, and joy.

Narrative plays a very important part in how personal identity is formed and understood.

In addition to the cognitive narrative, there is also a somatic narrative, held not in the mind but in the body. In particular, the organs hold important information used to help explain and understand inner experiences, to make sense of how the somatic self unfolded and responded to experience.

Adapted from our earlier Somatic Narrative and the Viscera program, this class will be offered online – dates TBD before the end of 2020! Please tune in to our email newsletter – we will announce when details are available and registration opens.
