Karla McLaren
Empath Karla McLaren is an award-winning author, social science
researcher, and pioneering educator whose empathic approach to
emotions has taken her through the healing of her own childhood
trauma, into a healing career, and now into the study of sociology,
anthropology, neurology, cognitive psychology, and education. She
is the author of The Language of Emotions: What Your Feelings Are
Trying to Tell You (Sounds True, 2010), the online course Emotional
Flow: Becoming Fluent in the Language of Emotions (Sounds True,
2012) and The Art of Empathy: A Complete Guide to Life's Most
Essential Skill (October, 2013).
Karla has taught at such venues as the University of San Francisco,
Omega Institute, Naropa University, Kripalu, and the Association
for Humanistic Psychology. Additionally, as a prison arts educator
with the William James Foundation, she has utilized singing,
drumming, and drama to help men in maximum security prisons explore
and heal long-held emotional traumas. She is currently developing
new forms of Empathy and Social Interaction curricula for
neurologically diverse populations.
Karla lives in California with her husband, Tino Plank, a Master's
level nurse educator who works in hospice and end-of-life care.
"Karla McLaren's unique, empathic view of emotions surprisingly
revalues even the most 'negative' emotions and opens pathways to
understanding the depths of the human soul."
