It’s a proven fact that our emotions can impact our physical health. We can make ourselves sick with worry, and ill with anxiety. How are these parts of ourselves connected, and what can we do to have a relationship with our emotions that keeps us physically healthy? This week we’ll look to the medical profession for the facts behind this important body-mind connection.
Our guest this week will be Dr. Kalpana (Rose) Kumar who is board certified in internal medicine and has been practicing for 23 years. Her education in medicine took her to Stanford University, the University of California-San Francisco, and The Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

This week we explore emotions from the perspective of the science behind emotions. Where do they come from, and what part of our emotional experience is hard-wired versus learned behavior? It’s a topic that has been studied in psychology for centuries, and we look at this history to inform our ongoing discussion of the topic.
Guiding our discussion will be Dr. John Grych, Chair of the Department of Psychology at Marquette University. At the undergraduate level, Dr. Grych teaches Psychology of Marriage and Family, Introduction to Psychology, and Child Psychopathology. At the graduate level, he teaches courses on child psychopathology, models of psychotherapy, and couples/family therapy, and supervises clinical practica. He also has published work on children’s perceptions of interparental conflict and aggression, family processes related to child psychopathology, and interventions for children from conflictual and violent families.
Dr. Grych received his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1991. You can learn more about Dr. Grych at www.marquette.edu.

When we become aware of our emotions, we are often challenged by finding ways to identify, describe or explain what we are feeling. When words fail us, we sometimes consciously or unconsciously act out our emotions, sometimes in an unhealthy way.
Joining us this week is Karen Carnabucci who is experienced in using action methods, including psychodrama, role play and other physical methods to help people express what they can’t necessarily say in words. She will discuss how emotions are linked to the roles that we play in life and how we can express and resolve our feelings by altering our habitual roles.
Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, LISW-S, TEP, is a licensed psychotherapist in Racine, Wis., who uses and teaches non-traditional healing and body-mind methods, including psychodrama, family constellation work, guided imagery, sand tray, Tarot and other approaches.
Karen is the only certified psychodramatist in Wisconsin and is board certified at the highest level as a master trainer of this method. She has also been involved with the emerging healing process of constellation work since 2002 and is certified in this method by Heinz Stark, an internationally recognized constellation trainer from Germany.
She is the author of Show and Tell Psychodrama: Skills for Therapists, Coaches, Teachers, Leaders, just published in June.
She also is the co-author of Integrating Psychodrama And Systemic Constellation Work: New Directions For Action Methods, Mind-Body Therapies And Energy Healing with the late Ronald Anderson and the co-author of Healing Eating Disorders with Psychodrama and Other Action Methods: Beyond the Silence and the Fury with Linda Ciotola.

We continue to discuss Emotions this week, specifically focusing on the range and roller coaster that we can experience when we have swings in emotions. It can be uncomfortable to vacillate back and forth frequently, and so often people strive for emotional balance…..a place without the highs and lows that can be unsettling. But is emotional balance achievable? And is it different for men and women?
Joining us this week is Guest Carrie Massey who is trained in polarity therapy and works with her clients to try to become more familiar with finding emotional center. Working toward a more neutral position with our emotions is achievable and sustainable, and Carrie will share her insights on how to access this place.
Carrie Massey (ATM, RPE, RPP/BCPP, LMT, BA) is the Founder of Wisconsin Polarity-Center for Energetic Awareness. She was trained as a physical therapist, and has an intense interest in energetic imbalances which cause postural alignment issues. At her business she blends the healing modalities of massage, Cranial-Sacral, and Polarity Therapy in her work with clients. Carrie is Board Certified as a Polarity Practitioner, and is also nationally certified and state licensed as a massage therapist. Carrie has a call to share and teach her knowledge of polarity.
