Douglas Foresta Quick Facts

I am a speaker, writer, and clinical social worker who helps people transcend trauma, addiction, fear and suffering. For the past 8 years, I've worked with some of the most marginalized people in society, from homeless youth to gang members to incarcarated offenders. What I've come to believe and experience is that it is possible to go from the worst suffering to experiencing grace in any moment, if we engage in certain practices and actions based on spiritual principles. I've helped people in the worst of situations turn their lives around for the better, and sadly, I've seen people die alone and angry, when everything they needed to experience joy was all around them.

The central theme in my work is this: It is possible to experience "instant grace", no matter where you are in life. I've worked with people in prisons who have experienced instant freedom and joy, despite being physically confined. In fact, many people who walk around supposedly "free" in the world are trapped in fear and anxiety and the limiting beliefs that they've internalized about themselves and the world.

My mission is to share these principles with as many people as possible, for as long as possible, in as many ways as possible. I do this through my speaking, writing, CD's, as well as my radio show on Blog Talk Radio- Breakfree to Success at www.blogtalkradio.com/breakfreetosuccess.

If you are reading this and you feel that you have something to share with others about overcoming trauma, addiction, stress or fear I would love to talk to you about being a guest on the show.
