Todd Pressman Biography

Todd Pressman, Ph.D. is an award-winning speaker, psychologist and author. He is known internationally for his work on "Deconstructing Anxiety”(TM), and has trained CEOs, Olympic athletes, Ivy League universities, physicians, mental health professionals, and more. His book Deconstructing Anxiety: The Journey from Fear to Fulfillment, was named one of the top 15 books ever written on anxiety by a panel of mental health professionals and physicians.

Graduating with degrees in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and Saybrook University, he has authored 3 widely acclaimed books and over one hundred published articles on the subject of human potential. He is also a highly sought after media expert, having appeared on scores of television, radio and podcast shows.

In 1982, he traveled the world to study the great wisdom and healing traditions, including with a Zen master in Kyoto, a Jain family in Delhi, a Zoroastrian high priest in Mumbai and a Sri Lankan firewalker. His education also includes an internship under Stanislav Grof, M.D (considered the grandfather of Transpersonal Psychology), mentoring by Raymond Moody, M.D., Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., and many other notables in the field.

With a background deeply rooted in tradition--he was groomed by a father whose teachers were taught by Sigmund Freud--he has integrated this wide-ranging experience into the holistic principles he teaches. His working model is based on Michelangelo's ideal: to "release the statue from the stone", the authentic Self from the overlays of imposed identity, into the discovery of true purpose, deep meaning and enduring fulfillment.

Deconstructing Anxiety: Cracking the Code of the 5 Core Fears

This program features highlights from the widely acclaimed Deconstructing Anxiety (TM) method, an evidence-based approach that demonstrates there is a single “core fear” at the root of all problems. In this presentation, Dr. Pressman lays out the 5 types of core fears—loss of love, identity, meaning, purpose and fear of death--and how to find the true cause of what’s stopping you in life. You’ll learn the actual “Digging for Gold” technique to reveal your own core fear, a revelation that many have called “life changing”. See why people are hailing the Deconstructing Anxiety method as “a whole new perspective on anxiety”, “worth the world’s attention”, and “the most exciting thing to come along in the field."

Finding the Gift in Fear: Deconstructing Anxiety for Freedom and Fulfillment

Did you know there is a gift in fear? In fact, when properly deconstructed (broken down to its source), fear can be the gateway to our highest fulfillment. That’s because what we are most afraid of is missing out on that very fulfillment. Deconstruct the fear and you’ll find not only a destiny that is calling you, but a roadmap for how to achieve it!

Greatness, Courage and Vision: Secrets from the World’s Most Extraordinary Leaders

Drawing from the lives of Gandhi, King, Mother Teresa, JFK, Nelson Mandela and a host of others, this presentation lays out the key principles of extraordinary leadership according to the Deconstructing Anxiety program. A step-by-step playbook for anyone who is or wants to be in a leadership position, and help create unprecedented results in their lives and the lives of others.

Destiny By Design: How to Live With Purpose, Power and Passion

Feeling like you’ve lost your purpose? Has life lost its sparkle? Do you long for the enthusiasm and joie-de-vivre you once knew when younger? This presentation lays out the “Vision Questing” process from Dr. Pressman’s highly acclaimed Deconstructing Anxiety method, with powerful strategies for finding your “umph” and creating a life of deep meaning and high purpose.

The 5 Ingredients for Fulfillment

When we understand that there are 5 “core fears” in life—loss of love, identity, meaning, purpose and the fear of death—we can discover precisely what has been blocking our path to fulfillment. The Deconstructing Anxiety method shows us how to turn these 5 core fears on their heads to become “The 5 ingredients For Fulfillment”—fulfillment in love (in all its forms), the rediscovery of our authentic selves and how to express them fully, a rich and satisfying meaning in life, a “mighty purpose” that makes it exciting to wake up in the morning, and a goal of living life so fully, that we feel a deep sense of peace with things when our lives are at an end.
