Deep dives

Understanding the Bio-Emotive Framework

The bio-emotive framework, developed by Douglas Dutarin, emphasizes the essential role emotions play in mental health disorders. It posits that emotional systems are often underappreciated and require deep understanding to address psychological challenges. This framework offers a new perspective on how individuals can interact with their emotions, suggesting that unresolved emotional issues manifest as pervasive beliefs that shape one’s self-identity and worldview. In essence, it serves as a therapeutic model that integrates emotional inquiry with psychological insights.
