Wellbeing Roundtable (Election Anxiety Series)

September 18 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

Feeling Emotionally Overwhelmed by Politics, Life or Whatever? You Have More Control Than You May Realize 

Our emotional responses to external events can sometimes feel beyond our control, but new research in the neuroscience of emotions shows that you have more agency than you think.

  • Join Ken Mayeaux, a member of the AILA National Well-Being Committee, for an insightful discussion inspired by Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett’s “How Emotions are Made.” He will explore how Dr. Feldman Barrett’s theory of constructed emotions reveals the power of personal agency over your emotional life, and strategies to combat feelings of hopelessness.
  • This roundtable, part of our Election Anxiety Series coordinated by AILA National’s Wellbeing Committee, will offer a fresh perspective on managing difficult emotions in challenging times.
  • Register here.
