From Fear to Freedom
Psychotherapist, TV personality Terri Cole
teaches people to beat fear
Fear blocks us from achieving the changes we all desire in life. It paralyzes our ability to grab the gold in our dreams, trample barriers, and kick our limitations once and for all.
Americans fighting their fears in a dread-drenched economy are discovering how to flip the on-switch of their personal power with Terri Cole. A licensed psychotherapist, happily married wife in a blended family, cancer survivor, TV personality and popular motivational speaker, Terri is an expert in wringing purpose from pain and transforming fear into freedom.
Her expertise grew out of her research and life experience, or as she calls it, her "PhD in Fear."
She worked for a decade as a talent agent for super models before getting burned out. "I realized I needed to change careers when I cared more about getting models into rehab, therapy and eating disorder clinics than a lucrative Pantene contract," she says. "I wanted to get off the crazy nicotine, caffeine, adrenalin-fueled hamster wheel that had become my life but I did not know how."
Terri earned a master's degree in clinical social work and in 1997 began a private practice in
Terri's father dropped dead at age 61. She discovered a lump in her throat and went through surgery and radiation treatments "all the while creating a relationship with children whose own beautiful mother died of cervical cancer when they were 5, 3 and 1." When a more aggressive cancer was discovered on her thyroid, she went through more surgery and radiation. Then one day she walked onto her back porch to find a huge masked man holding a gun to her husband's head. "We were robbed at gunpoint, with our youngest son in the house. My PhD in Fear was officially complete."
From her professional experience, Terri knew she could not let fear dominate her life. She worked through her fear with her own therapist. She spent the next 14 years exploring the mind-body connection to "demystify" fear while running her private practice in
From these experiences Terri has taught thousands of clients and students to transform their fear into freedom. Embracing empathy, razor sharp insight and wicked wit, she shares her wisdom through TV appearances (including The Conversation on Lifetime and Monster In-Laws on A&E), guest articles, guided meditation CDs, her "Flip Over and Float" group coaching and her soon-to-be published first solo book.
"The power of your intention is mind blowing, but unfortunately most people don't use it. Instead they are run by fear and the feeling they are lacking and a victim, as if life is happening to them as opposed to, how it really is, coming from them," Terri says. "My dharma is to empower as many people as I can reach on planet Earth to live their best life now, and to make them realize they already have everything they need to make that life possible."
