Penelope Young Andrade LCSW is the author of Emotional Medicine Rx: Cry When You’re Sad, Stop When You’re Done, Feel Good Fast. Founder of the San Diego Center for Psychosynthesis, her “Transformational Talk Radio” and her popular advice column, “Transformational Talk,” have reached thousands of listeners and readers in southern California. During a devastating divorce, Penelope discovered an essential distinction between narrative driven and body led emotion enabling her to experience every sad, mad, scared feeling as a delivery system for well being. Her emotional medicine prescription integrates powerful elements of both traditional and alternative therapies including: Mindfulness, Family Systems, Psychosynthesis, Eidetic Imagery, Bioenergetics, Biodynamics, Somatic Experiencing (SE), Tantra, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP.) She has been an adjunct professor at San Diego University for Integral Studies, University for Humanistic Studies, and the Natural Healing Institute. She and her husband, Arturo, developed the VIVO Oral Focus™ method for body oriented self-soothing. Penelope lectures and trains therapists and lay audiences throughout the world, inspiring people about benefits of Emotional Medicine.
