Emotive Knowledge Psychology (EKP)

As EKP educators, consultants, and clinicians, we consider the following statement as foundational to effectively providing our services:

Relating with others through sincere interest and in a caring way has been shown to improve quality of life, while being aware that maintaining and managing the energy to do so is a bridge we often cross in that direction. - M.W. Summerlin, Ph.D (Dual Origins of Personality)
​
​Our Founder: Dr. Michael Summerlin is a licensed clinical psychologist that also provides consulting services for organizational leaders in various industries. In 2015, Dr. Summerlin was honored to accept a faculty appointment
to teach Oraganizational Behavior and
Leadership at the USC Marshall School of Business.
​
​His research focused on relational trauma in early childhood and its influence on the regulatory function of the autonomic nervous system and corresponding personality structures (Research Panel: Allan Schore, Ph.D, UCLA, Avedis Panajian, Ph.D, Pacifica, Christine Lewis, Ph.D, Pacifica).
​
We have found that a primary barrier to therapeutic change for an individual who has experienced relational trauma in early childhood presents as a significant decrease in the use of associative memory while interacting with others. - M.W.

An Exercise In Mindfulness

“Don’t let the learned or institutions of learning place what is essentially yours out of your reach, such as the term iambic pentameter (da dum da dum . . . ) which is from your heartbeat, or the gods and goddesses, which are about nothing, if not about you.”
- M.W. Summerlin

What clinically trained psychologist Michael W. Summerlin, who also has a documented history of abandonment and abuse (see article below) advises:

"As we feel the sense of societal obligation to take care of our parental figures, along with a dreadful hollowness inside, right where we thought love would be; don't blame yourselves for the absence of a love (secure attachment) that was never created."

Attachment Injuries, Misery, and The 7 Deadly Sins:

First Sin Overview: Gluttony

I. Early vagal development VS gluttony:

Shift from feeding to social engagement as primary regulator of physiological state at 6 months of age (Polyvagal Theory). Not shifting or a delayed transition most often results in the ingestion of nutrients continuing to be the primary regulator of physiological state, thereby setting the structure for potential challenges associated with eating and nutrition.

From Beyond Dual Origins of Personality

“A reconciler of opposites is often represented by the magician/savior archetype, or an individual that serves as a reverend/redeemer, a conduit between here and not here. The image of the Magician on Tarot cards depicts a mercurial figure with a right hand pointed to the heavens and the left hand pointed toward the earth, like that of a whirling dervish.”
