I have the firm belief that everyone is responsible for fixing their own problems. What's even more true is that no one else is going to fix it for us. And luckily, once you take ownership of your own problems and take actions to fix them, you can achieve a level of health and wellness that is empowering. And after 20 years in this field, I've developed a lot of tools that can help with this process.
The first, and my personal favorite tool for fixing yourself. It's called PACE and it stands for:
- Pleasure
- Accomplishment
- Connection
- Exercise
I consider these four crucial areas for fulfillment, or wellness. Let me take you through each of them. In this episode, I explain PACE in detail.
About Shannon Connery, PhD
I am a professional psychologist with a private practice based in Denver, Colorado, where I treat adults suffering from issues that range from PTSD and depression to anxiety, obesity, and marital problems.
Before launching the practice in 2007, I spent a decade working with public safety personnel and private organizations in the fields of police psychology, trauma debriefing, and threat assessment. I also performed litigation consulting for a large multinational law firm.
As part of a team responsible for debriefing police officers after traumatic incidents, I aided both officers and safety personnel suffering from depression, trauma, and burnout resulting from their response efforts during the Columbine High School massacre in Littleton, Colorado, in 1999 and the Aurora movie theater shootings of 2012.
