WHY GETTING IT RIGHT IS WRONG PSYCHOLOGY AND THE PROCESS By choice, my life essentially has been about process. When I am not involved in the act of process through art or psychology, I seek it out in my relationships, hobbies, and however, I can. I like to know that all of my interests, relationships included allow for the potential of change and growth.

In his research Dr. Cowell asks, Is anger a unique emotion? And the answer is no, not really. Not only does anger not occur in a vacuum, but Physiologically it...
We’ve spoken about GUILT a few times on the podcast. First with Giselle Gelzan and second as MOM GUILT with Alana Rivera. GUILT is of course one of my favorite emotional states to talk about because so much of what we know about guilt stems from Freud. And Freud for better or worse, is endlessly fascinating. We’ve covered the Freudian perspective on guilt in relation to the id, ego, and super ego and for a deeper dive on that, listen to episode 15 with Giselle Gelzan, but what seems to carry over from Freud to most modern perspectives on guilt is that guilt is a symptom.
