From the first stages of a career to retirement, managing the transition between different stages of working life can go smoothly, but sometimes can feel abrupt and disjointed.  Our identity and sense of self can go through major shifts during these transitions, and the more you can be aware of where you are and what you are called to be, the more smoothly the transitions can go.

Since 1992, Beth has coached thousands of clients including entrepreneurs, business owners, teachers and CEOs of multi-million dollar corporations.  In 2008, Beth was diagnosed with breast cancer and after an 8-month treatment course and a fresh perspective on her priorities, she reinvented her business as results. in Racine, WI. She believes that in order to harness your personal power in life, you must clearly identify your talents and dreams and find a way to contribute them to your community as a whole.

Transitioning From Past to Present Thinking with Stephanie Delmore – 11-15-14

November 20, 2014

We so often live our lives carrying hurts and wounds from the past into our daily life.  We can intellectualize our perception of past events in order to cope, but the pain of unresolved feelings remains, and holds us back from living the life that we desire.  Making the decision to transition out of past into present thinking can be transformational, and can clear the way for a refreshed outlook on life.  Join us as we discuss how you can integrate this new way of seeing events unfold.

Our guest is experienced in assisting hundreds of clients in their journey to knowing self and making this transition to living in the present.  Stephanie Delmore is a Psychotherapist who uses many cognitive behavioral strategies in therapy.  She holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and a School Counselor Certification from Mount Mary College.

Stephanie’s theoretical orientation comes from a belief in a strengths focus. and  identifies herself as a Solution-Focused therapist. She believes that our thoughts are powerful and that by learning to identify when our thoughts are distorted and causing anxiety or depression, we have the power to change those thoughts in an effective way.

Stephanie is married and the mother of two school-aged children. In her free time she enjoys traveling, entertaining, exercise, and volunteering at school and church.  You can learn more about Stephanie at www.stephaniedelmore.com. or on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/StephanieDelmoreLPC.
