About the
AuthorAndrea Reynolds is an
author, broadcaster, public speaker and relationship
consultant.
For years, Andrea was
locked in a pattern of choosing emotionally unavailable
partners. After many years of intensive personal healing
through counseling, group therapy, support groups,
biblio-therapy, and research as a journalist, she now
chooses to be with people who treat her well and who meet
her emotional needs. Now psychologists, psychiatrists, and
psychotherapists recommend her seminars and handbooks to
their patients and clients. She lectures through hospital
education programs, conferences, adult education programs,
universities and high schools; often speaking to groups of
men and women who have come out of empty, addictive, or
abusive relationships, and who have lacked healthy
self-esteem.
Andrea has studied at
seven universities(including Kent State University and
Oxford University) in three countries (USA, Canada and
England) taking courses in Marriage and Family Relations,
family studies, education, and communications. She began
teaching classes on relationships in junior and senior high
schools in Canada in 1975, and eventually taught advanced
programs for adults.
She has
appeared as a returning guest expert on Dini
Petty, Shirley,
four shows on The Life
Network, and many radio talk
shows in the US and Canada (CFRB, CBC, Q107, CHUM-FM, CHFI,
CFNY). She has hosted her own weekend radio call-in show
(WFLP 1530 AM) on relationships, introducing topics on
rejection, affairs, date rape, safe sex, and
physical/emotional abuse in relationships. She has also
trained as a crisis hotline volunteer and has successfully
handled suicide interventions.
As a practical philosopher
and romantic realist, her philosophy about relationships
and romance is entrepreneurial:
"If you truly
want to find happiness with a loving partner it is wise to
invest as much energy and creativity in each important
relationship... including the one you have with yourself...
as you do in your business or career."
