Where did this vision come from?
Well, I have worked with individuals in my role
as a psychotherapist, as a private practice psychologist
for almost 30 years.
And have seen the struggles people have had in their lives.
And sometimes a big part of that has been work.
But the real root of my desire to help people
comes from my own experience of my dad having
a nearly fatal heart attack when he was 49
as a result of work stress.
And I was 15.
And so I saw him.
He was unable to work ever again after that heart attack
and died very young at 63.
So I've seen the real world negative effects of work stress
on people and have devoted my career
to trying to help people to reduce them.
