About Emotvo

Hello bold explorers of the human psyche! I’m Gloria McVicar, and I invite you to step into a world where feelings are not just fleeting moments but profound insights into our very existence. At Emotvo, we delve deep into the intricacies of emotional experience, providing a space where we can dissect, discuss, and celebrate the vibrant tapestry of human emotion.

My journey into the realm of psychology was no accident; it was a passionate hunt for understanding my place in a world filled with complexities. Growing up, I was that kid who always asked 'Why?' — why people reacted the way they did, why emotions swung like a pendulum, and why the heart often overpowers the mind. It was both a blessing and a curse. Allow me to share a pivotal moment that defined my path.

When I was a teenager, I experienced a significant loss — my grandmother, who was my anchor and confidant, passed away unexpectedly. The whirlwind of emotions that followed was bewildering. Anger, sadness, regret; they collided and erupted within me like an uncontrollable tempest. In the midst of this chaos, I stumbled upon a psychology class that sparked a profound transformation. Understanding that emotions were not weaknesses, but rather signals and guides, became my calling. I learned that every excessive outburst and every quiet tear hid layers of stories waiting to be unraveled. I realized that human emotion is a language of its own, capable of bridging divides and fostering connection.

Thus, Emotvo was born out of a necessity to demystify our emotional lives. This blog aims to be more than just an academic space; it is a vibrant community for psychology enthusiasts, students, and curious souls clambering through the chaos of their own feelings. Every post you will find here is crafted with passion, inquiry, and fearless exploration of something that lies at the core of our humanity — our emotions.

Here at Emotvo, we honor feelings while refusing to shy away from the messy realities of mental health.
