Teresa is the Associate Director of the Advancing Nurse Coaching program, teaching the Resilience Principles Paradigm coaching model to nurses and health professionals globally.
After five years of chronic pain, many appointments (with no diagnosis), and bone-crushing depression, I was tired. I wanted to quit nursing. I wanted relief from my suffering but didn’t know how to “do” it. Then I attended a conference titled “Why Aren’t We More Resilient?” by Dr. Keith Blevens. It was about how thought works from the inside-out that I had never heard before, thought as a fact and not a belief. Yet, it resonated so profoundly that my pain melted away in the middle of the conference. The following Monday, I found renewed interest and joy in my work. I then realized the world around me hadn’t changed, but inside, I was different, calmer. Finally, I had clarity of thinking and felt grateful that I had found relief.
Since then, my life’s mission has been to help others achieve life-changing results for themselves through an inside-out understanding of how our thinking works. One thought can change everything.
