MAY 4, 11 AM
Dr. Herdley Paolini earned her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at Western Michigan University. She has over 30 years of experience in the counseling field. For the past six years she has been directing Physician Support Services at Florida Hospital -- the largest admitting hospital in America. As a member of the medical staff Dr. Paolini has established and maintained the first and only hospital-based clinical practice for physicians in the country.
Prior to her present position, she was a psychologist and teacher at Andrews University in Michigan, where she also maintained a private practice. She has extensive experience in program development and consulting at various universities, hospitals, and organizations across the country. As an integral part of her responsibilities and passion, Dr. Paolini has authored the book, "Inside The Mind of a Physician: Illuminating the Mystery of How Doctors Think, What They Feel, and Why They Do the Things They Do."
Dr. Paolini's specific areas of expertise include wellness & satisfaction, stress management, grief and loss issues, relationship issues, depressive and anxiety disorders, addictions, obsessive compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Her heart of hearts, though, is mostly passionate about people and the daily journey for meaning and purpose!
Topic for this special event:
"Ordinary Grace"- What if the common, everyday life is more than just the running to and fro, more than the experience of accomplishing tasks, or simply surviving? What if it is the receptacle of the divine... a place where Grace is laced with the ordinary and where the extraordinary grows? Then it is true - "The Word became flesh and lives among us!"
