Emotions 101: Navigating your Emotional Landscape
Time: 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Location: Northgate Library
Emotions define human life, but very few of us are taught what emotions are and how they can be useful. Often people feel like they suffer from “too much” emotions, or feel like it is difficult to live with emotions harmoniously. Join Stephanie and Linda as they lead a group through lecture, exercises, and discussions on how to identify and listen to the emotional world. This workshop will include theories and practical tips, and the presenters will provide resources and information for individuals to take home.
Stephanie McDonald, MA is a licensed psychotherapist. She works in a community mental health clinic in the Puget Sound area. Stephanie enjoys deep bonds with animals (humans and otherwise) and has an interest in issues of social diversity, and nature-based spirituality. She tries not to take herself too seriously, and enjoys teaching what she has learned in the field of human behavior, through observance and practice.
Linda Wehnes, MA is a licensed psychotherapist. She works in medical and mental health research, and has her own private therapy practice in Seattle. Linda is a Zen practitioner, and her understanding of emotions draws deeply from her experiences with this practice. Her interests include literature, yoga, and art. Linda has also been known to read cookbooks for pleasure and started her first container garden this year.
Class is at the Northgate Library Branch:
