1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,340
Where did this vision come from?

2
00:00:03,340 --> 00:00:09,340
Well, I have worked with individuals in my role

3
00:00:09,340 --> 00:00:12,140
as a psychotherapist, as a private practice psychologist

4
00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:13,980
for almost 30 years.

5
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:19,780
And have seen the struggles people have had in their lives.

6
00:00:19,780 --> 00:00:22,980
And sometimes a big part of that has been work.

7
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:28,080
But the real root of my desire to help people

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,560
comes from my own experience of my dad having

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,580
a nearly fatal heart attack when he was 49

10
00:00:33,580 --> 00:00:35,320
as a result of work stress.

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,720
And I was 15.

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,400
And so I saw him.

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,400
He was unable to work ever again after that heart attack

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,200
and died very young at 63.

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,320
So I've seen the real world negative effects of work stress

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,100
on people and have devoted my career

17
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:58,200
to trying to help people to reduce them.
