Workshop
Emotions: The Journey of Transformation
Spring 2026
Ms. Vicky Lam, a Registered Social Worker, explained the psychological and biological aspects of emotions and their impact on functioning. She guided participants to name, understand, and gain insight from their emotions in an adaptive way. The session began with relaxing bodily movements and a breathing exercise, encouraging participants to unwind and practise. She then explained how emotions related to underlying needs and introduced four basic emotions as examples to illustrate common maladaptive reactions and their corresponding adaptive behaviours.
