Balancing Emotion and Logic in Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare

Most of us have experienced a misalignment of emotion and logic when it comes to our search for truth. Maybe it’s that friend who’s highly educated but easily pulled into conspiracy theories. Maybe it’s our own feelings of getting swept up in panic we know isn’t rooted in fact. Or maybe it’s the collective despair of witnessing mis- and disinformation sweep an entire nation. However it manifests, we know that this misalignment often keeps us stuck, separating us from truth. If we seek true social change, the kind that moves people and communities out of being stuck and into alignment, we must understand the relationship between logic and emotion. Michelle Trupiano, executive director at Beacon Reproductive Health Network, explores the role of emotion and logic in reproductive healthcare and how effectively balancing the two is the key to building relationships, advancing policies, and inspiring a movement committed to ensuring and expanding sexual and reproductive healthcare for all.
