THE BOOK

“You do not need to be fixed, because you are not broken. You are wounded. And healing is accessible.”
ABOUT RUSS
This Work is Both Professional & Personal
For more than two decades, Dr. Russ Irwin has worked at the intersection of human behavior, mental health and high performance. His perspective is shaped not only by advanced study and his work with individuals, leaders and organizations, but also by his own journey through childhood poverty and abuse.
Russ understands how deeply survival patterns can shape the way people think, relate and perform and he knows those patterns do not have to write the rest of the story.
At the heart of his work is a desire to help people understand what shaped them without being defined by it, move beyond the responses that once protected them and build a healthier, more hopeful future.
