Karla McLaren: The Language of Emotions [Wisdom Wednesday]

We strive to be “happy” but we have these darn negative emotions in our lives.  Some of us try to run from them via food, alcohol/drugs, sex, work, or exercise. 

Have you ever thought about your feelings as a messenger who is here to tell you something important?

Karla McLaren is an award-winning author, researcher, and pioneering educator whose empathic approach to emotions revalues even the most “negative” emotions, and opens startling new pathways into the depths of the soul. She is the author of The Art of Empathy: A Complete Guide to Life’s Most Essential Skill (2013), and The Language of Emotions: What Your Feelings Are Trying to Tell You (2010).

“We end up growing up with no emotional skills,” says Karla in this episode.

Karla has taught at such venues as the University of San Francisco, and the Omega Institute. In this episode, which originally aired in 2014, Karla and I discuss what your feelings are trying to tell you.
