About Richard Teirney

Through his work, Richard challenges the idea that emotions themselves are disorders. One of the programs he created is designed to support the more than 290 million children diagnosed with mental health disorders worldwide, teaching them that their feelings and emotions are not pathologies—but innate, God-given instincts meant to guide and protect them.

His second program is a trauma-informed, 12-step recovery framework created to help individuals heal fully from mental health diagnoses rooted in unresolved past trauma. At the core of Richard’s approach is the belief that lasting healing comes not from suppressing emotions, but from understanding and trusting them.
