Hey there, I'm Tess
Master Therapeutic Coach helping people discover what they want & build it
from the inside out.
Tess René:
"I appeared confident but self-doubt plagued me & I thought any acceptance I won was due to excellent acting skills, not the real me.
I didn't think I'd 'earned' success & I blamed my past as the reason I didn't belong in the present."
My immediate & extended relatives couldn't function well enough to raise a child, so from the age of 15 I lived in foster care in a small, prairie town where everyone knew I was the kid who was left behind.
I finished Grade 12 in an old, farm-house rental because I had aged-out of the system. I chronically felt afraid & lost but never told a soul.
Everyone saw my stoicism as strength, but it was fear. I didn't show my emotions for fear of rejection. I decided that I would 'act' happy, be smart & accomplish everything; then I'd belong.
My worth became tied to my performance. I excelled outwardly & struggled inwardly to the point of near-ruin.
Chronic unworthiness, self doubt, anger, fear, uncertainty all loomed in my mind.
I kept a smile plastered on my face but the whole time, I believed I didn't belong, because anyone who accepted me was be-friending a smiley, phoney Tess.
Not for one
second did I think
I belonged.

...I combined my training with compassion & well-honed intuition. As a result, I changed my relationship with my emotions & the belief systems that kept me hidden.
I built my private practice on my evidence-based training and life-taught principles. There is no greater JOY than teaching my clients these skills & watching them can see beyond their blocks and create lives they love.
If this is possible for me & them, it is possible for you & it DOESN'T have to be a LONG, COMPLICATED process.
My training in Psychology, taught me how to heal, but I was not free until...
Be qualified.
Overperform.
Exaggerate who you are.
Escape & isolate.
i hear you & i've been there
... struggle does not have to run your life either!
Ten years ago, I believed I needed those things too.
My actions were being influenced by quiet, lurking beliefs that I was acting on - but didn't know I had.
Unconscious Beliefs about myself & others kept me small & made it impossible to FEEL GOOD.
Those Beliefs caused me to assume the way I saw myself was "just the person I was," but now I know how wrong I was. And if you are struggling I also know
