Rosalyn Rourke
Professional Bio
Rosalyn Rourke, MSW
Best-selling author Rosalyn Rourke, MSW, has worked deeply in the field of mental health and trauma therapy as a psychotherapist. With a Master’s degree from Smith College School for Social Work in 1973, she embarked on a distinguished career that included supervisory roles at Yale Facilities, specializing in psychiatry. Her expertise further expanded as she immersed herself in trauma work, particularly Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming (EMDR), a highly effective PTSD treatment. In 1995, she pursued advanced training in eating disorders, focusing on binge eating and body dysmorphia.
An avid learner, Rosalyn’s professional and personal journey into transformation led her to the Enneagram, where she studied under renowned mentors such as Tom Condon, Don Riso and Russ Hudson, among others. Her influential work extends to the literary realm with her best-selling book, “When Wisdom Arrives: From Imagined Unworthiness to Freedom.“ Rosalyn continues to inspire and empower individuals on their path to self-discovery and freedom, as a Oneness Coach.
Speaking & Podcasting
I’m available for podcasts, speaking engagments, interviews and more. Let’s connect and see what’s possible.
The bright Light I know as Rosalyn Rourke is an inspired teacher, counselor and leader. Rosalyn has been teaching and sharing her wisdom of the Enneagram in the Power of Love Ministry classes for years and has counseled numerous participants to see the more loving choices in how they approach their life and relationships. Rosalyn is a beautiful advocate for following inspiration and knowing how to be in tune with the Infinite Field of Love. I have learned so much from her! I consider that any time I can spend with Rosalyn is well spent! Her insights are invaluable and her compassionate approach is deeply healing and nourishing. If you can, find a way to work with her and you’ll see the benefits right away.

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.
