Professional Bio
Rosalyn Rourke, MSW
Rosalyn Rourke, MSW, is a two-time best-selling author. She worked for 30 + years as a psychotherapist, specializing in life and death issues, including suicidal ideation, eating disorders, and family constellation work. Trained in advanced trauma interventions through Smith College School for Social Work and post graduate work at Yale Psychiatric facilities, she brings a seasoned, mature perspective to living and dying well.
After the unexpected death of her daughter, Rosalyn’s perspective on grief profoundly shifted.
Rosalyn has developed a new paradigm of Grief that reframes loss as an opportunity for growth and meaning. The ‘Stages of grief’ need not be long held, but can be like other feelings that pass through us.
From Rosalyn’s perspective how we handle death is much like how we handle loss in other arenas including attachment, money, physical loss and so on. While we are motivated and energized, let’s develop our best strategies for living.

Rosalyn is a gift and inspiration to me. As much as I have studied the Enneagram, Rosalyn’s way of sharing has brought the Enneagram home into my heart and body, not just into my mind. I sooo look forward to the way she teaches and brings the group together through love seat coaching. The classes are always different: fantastic and deeply moving.
I have learned very practical things I can do to relate better to family members. Rosalyn offers specific ways to speak to each type, so we can be better heard. I know my daughter feels more heard and loved by me.
And I continue to grow into a more loving relationship with myself.

If thoughts and feelings were TRUTH, they would be called Facts. In the pages of this fable and companion memoir, we learn about TRUTH and the simple way we can transcend the lie of unworthiness. Imagined unworthiness shows up as a tyranny of thoughts and feelings that cause psychological suffering.
