Emotions – How they Impact Our Body

It is quite common but not entirely accurate that the words ‘emotions’ and ‘feelings’ are used interchangeably. Feelings are associated with our senses and emotions with our reactions. And while we might all experience emotions and feelings daily, the question is: WHAT IMPACT DO EMOTIONS HAVE ON OUR BODY?

Whether it be sadness, anger, frustration, withdrawal, grief, bitterness, embarrassment, disgust, fear, stress, resentment, judgment, regret, shame etc., these are not innocent momentary experiences. Every single one leaves a lasting impact on the body, sometimes clocked instantly and other times not for years to come.

In this presentation and workshop, we will discuss:

1. The science of emotions
2. Emotions and reactions – how are they related?
3. Emotions are a form of communication
4. The short and long-term impacts of emotions on our body
5. How to live life differently i.e., without emotions running riot in our body
