Dare to Exceed Expectations | Joanna Fava | TEDxUND

As a senior in high school, Joanna’s history teacher told her she’d never graduate college. Her parents did not go to the school and complain or write the teacher a nasty letter (as she had hoped). Instead, they offered her a challenge: “You can either prove her right or you can prove her wrong.” Years later, she would graduate from the University of Notre Dame and go on to work in prisons in NY, NJ, and CT providing psychological services to inmates before entering private practice in 2012. She now provides specialized treatments to individuals in the NYC area who are struggling with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, personality disorders, and suicidal urges, and helps them create a life truly worth living. Her talk will draw upon her personal experiences and the lives of her patients to offer steps to defeat anxiety and doubt and to tap into the resilience necessary to exceed expectations.
