Wellness Wednesday at KPC

Wellness Wednesday: “Every Emotion Matters – How Both Positive and Negative Emotions Shape a Life” with Michelle Fellows, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Psychology, UAA/KPC

Emotions have often gotten a bad rap for being “irrational”. However, research now points to their functional and necessary role in our thinking and wellness. One important function of our emotions is to provide us with information about our needs and motivations. This is true for the entire spectrum of emotions, not just the positive, or pleasant, feelings. While we don’t usually wake up each morning hoping for a day full of unpleasant feelings, our negative emotions are just as normal and valuable as our positive emotions. In this talk, Michelle will use a psychological lens to explore how we can leverage ALL of our emotions to be more whole human beings.
