A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Jennifer Freed is a psychotherapist, mediator, and author with over 30 years’ experience working with youth and deep roots in the Santa Barbara area. She began at age 19, running a peer counselor training program at Dos Pueblos High School; shortly thereafter, she began working for YouthWorks. She became Statewide Director of that program, which conducted research into reasons why young people were dropping out of school. Dr. Freed then became Clinical Coordinator what is now known as Pacifica Graduate Institute. There, she created the award-winning Media Project, a statewide program where teens created videos about crime prevention. Dr. Freed went into private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist and was hired as clinical director of Pacifica Graduate Institute. She taught many classes at Pacifica and created the Overseas Program, where students there could go overseas to study indigenous ways of knowing. She then earned her PhD in Depth Psychology while sustaining her private practice and leading workshops on women’s issues and couples’ issues. In 1999, just after the Columbine massacre, Dr. Freed started AHA! with Rendy Freedman, MFT. AHA! began as a summer program largely staffed by artists and social-emotional learning experts who volunteered to work with the youth. AHA! was soon invited to work with students at La Cuesta Continuation High School, then to Carpinteria and Santa Barbara High Schools. The after-school program was then added to AHA!’s offerings. AHA!’s Peace Builders, AHA!’s newest program, was introduced in 2013. Dr. Freed’s books include The Ultimate Personality Guide, Lessons from Stanley the Cat, and a series of Be Your Best Self workbooks, which are used in AHA! programs. She also authored the three-volume AHA! Method Book. In the works are PeaceQ, a book about peace-building; a book on women’s sexual wisdom; and another book about celebrating and transforming negative thoughts (Bad Thought Gremlins). She has been writing poetry her whole adult life, and created two radio programs: Freed Up!, an Air America talk show that had thousands of listeners; and Signs of Change, created with psychologist and education expert Stacy Pulice. Passionate about continued learning, Dr. Freed has undergone ongoing professional development and training: she has been trained and certified in hypnosis, EMDR, light therapy, mediation, and EQ with national organization Six Seconds.
