Emily Colwell '88's new book

Emily Colwell ’88, MSSW, ND, shares insights from her 30-year career as a therapist and physician in What If You’re Right?, challenging the constant pursuit of self-improvement. Through her own experiences with chronic illness, cancer, shifting sexual orientation and childhood trauma, she discovered that feelings of anxiety, fear and fatigue aren’t wrong — they’re messengers of wisdom. Her book helps readers embrace curiosity over self-judgment, update their relationship with challenges, and find relief by trusting themselves.
