EMOTION IS NOT A DISORDER: Animal Theory of Emotion
ILANA KRONICK, Ph.D.
This one-evening seminar will provide an exposition of the short-term methodology practiced with individuals experiencing high levels of emotional dysregulation

Animal Theory of Emotion is the principle that when you’re very emotional, you’re not mentally ill-- you’re just overprotecting yourself out of instinct: you’re on animal. Emotion is not a disorder, it is a distortion: an amplified mental mistake that occurs when your evolved mind is hijacked by your primal impulses.
Drawing from principles of dialectical behavioural therapy, evolutionary psychology, somatic therapy and attachment theory, Animal Theory uses simple interventions and fundamental frames to quickly manage the process of emotional reactivity, and clearly understand emotionality and personality without medicalization.
