Meet Your Instructors

Hello, I'm Dr. Jeff Gordon, an accomplished educator and psychologist with five advanced degrees from Australian and American universities. I've dedicated my career to understanding the intricacies of emotional wellness and guiding individuals towards personal growth. With a deep understanding of persistent sadness, I aim to equip you with knowledge and strategies to navigate emotional hurdles effectively. Join me on a transformative journey towards emotional well-being. This course is novel in many ways but especially in two ways: my name is a pseudonym as I wanted to separate my clinical practice from my health-engendering online courses and, secondly, I am using digital avatars as 'actors' presenting the content I have prepared. Dr James Gordon is the Lead Avatar. I hope you enjoy their contribution to the course.
