Ilene Dillon, M.S.W., is known as "The Emotional Pro". Her approach to emotions is that they are a part of everyone, even from before birth. People everywhere are becoming aware that emotions serve an important purpose in life, and should no longer be pushed down, ignored or be found embarrassing. Ilene believes that emotions operate as signals, telling us the specific actions we need to take. Available 24/7, they act as our "Human User's Manual." When we listen to, feel, learn from, and take action on the basis of our emotions, life flows more smoothly. Ilene feels we are entitled to be emotionally balanced in life, and that is what she is here to help you do, should you choose! Ask her questions on emotions and check out her booklets on the emotions of anger, grief, guilt, fear, hurt, intimacy, love, loneliness, shame and remorse, and jealousy.
Ilene is author of 19 books, including a teacher's manual on emotional literacy, a professional multi-media training course on anger mastery, and a CD album, Awaken To Your Emotions. Holder of two California professional psychotherapy licenses and a lifetime junior college teaching credential, Ilene has been featured in publications such as The San Francisco Chronicle, Care Notes, Feel.com, The Marin Independent Journal, Personal Excellence and Woman's Day. Her proprietary systems for mastering anger, consciously parenting self-directed children, and eliminating co-dependency, open people to their greatest potential. Three minicourses, one each on anger, self-esteem and co-dependence, are available for sale here at MES. Ilene has practiced as a Coach the past 8 years (and works worldwide, through the Internet, with people in such places as South Africa, France, Germany, Mexico and all over the U.S.), and as an individual and family therapist in the San Francisco Bay Areas for over 38 years.
A quarter-century professional member of The National Speakers Association, Ilene's clients include California colleges and probations officers, Dallas Presbyterian Hospital, American Family Cruises, California Council for Self-Esteem, California Personnel and Guidance Association and Adelaide, Australia's C.O.P.E.
