Dr. Dorree Lynn

Upon turning fifty I expected to wake up out of shape, gray, perhaps a little disillusioned, with minimal energy and even less ambition. But I found that instead I was still full of life - albeit needing a little more sleep and with a few more aches and pains. Then came sixty and with it a new kind of zest. I had experienced my share of painful challenges and good times. As a psychologist, I had spent close to forty years listening to people's ills, journeying with my clients through the depths of their pain and the heights of their potential. As my clients changed, I changed as well. Together, we celebrated and mourned births, job changes, marriages, divorces, profound personal triumphs, family transitions, illnesses and deaths. I reasoned that if we who were getting older were dealing with these evolving issues, so were others beyond my office walls. I created FiftyandFurthermore with this in mind – and every day I work to show society what SAGING really means.
