About EK Psych - Emotive Knowledge Psychology

Behind The Name: We consider “Emotive Knowledge” as the basic understanding that emotive energy drives, develops, and maintains our mental patterns, and our overall personality structure. Emotive knowledge is essentially about understanding the power supply on which our cognitive functions and physiologically structured arrangements sit, and by which they are infused. The neuroanatomy of this energy management system chiefly consists of the autonomic nervous system (ANS, and right-brain dual cortical-circuits, i.e., Lateral Tegmental Circuit and Ventral Tegmental Circuit) hypothalamus (head ganglion of the ANS), and vagus nerve, anchoring a system implicated in evaluative functions that are regulating our overall process of energy management. By and large, if an individual has mostly existed under the stress of threatened survival during their first two years of life, the energy and subsequent cognitive related structures and functions will be set up for a hyper-aroused survival-first approach to living, with limited executive functions (planning and accounting for contextual interplay, e.g., seamlessly recognizing the adjustments needed when changing from calculating time to calculating money, using a calendar, sense of orientation/direction) brought on line long after the individual has evaluated conditions to be consistent, and relatively safe. The structures maintain their potential for plasticity, though due to their lifelong critical role, they’re slower to change through maturation and/or in treatment. Relating with others through sincere interest and in a caring way has been shown to improve quality of life, while mindfully maintaining and managing the energy to do so is a bridge we often cross in that direction. - M.W.
