Feel It to Heal It: Emotions with Juan Pablo Kalawski

Welcome to another episode of The Fat Psychologist Podcast. This week, Ninna Makrinov, aka The Fat Psychologist, is joined by psychologist and Alba Emoting master teacher Dr Juan Pablo Kalawski for a deep and heartfelt conversation about emotions—what they are, how we experience them, and how we can use them to heal and grow.We explore:

• What emotions really are (and why defining them is so tricky)
• The connection between body, breath, and feelings
• Why anger isn’t bad—and how it can fuel positive change
• The Alba Method: how breathing patterns can evoke real emotions
• How to listen to your body and uncover emotional truths
• Why therapy matters and how to reclaim your emotional power

Whether you're a psychology enthusiast or just trying to make sense of your own emotional world, this episode is for you.
