  PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY

  Charles M. Bonasera received his professional degree from the University of Buffalo.  He was a practicing psychotherapist from 1962 to 2003 in the Buffalo, NY area and presently serves as a Consultant, Author, Workshop Presenter and Motivational Speaker. His practice and consulting roles primarily focus on helping with individual, relationship and family-type problems as well as anger, guilt, depression and anxiety issues.  Another important role he plays is that of working with athletes in competitive sports teaching them optimal ways of using their minds to develop and maintain focus and stay in their zone.

   Based on years of extensive research and treatment of stress-related problems, he founded the Stress Management Center as well as the Sports Stress Clinic to evaluate and treat stress-related problems.  As President of Personal Identity Controls, he developed and produced a number of interactive audio materials under the general title of WIN-WIN SECRETS dealing with many topics enabling people to take greater control their lives.  He scripted and wrote a CD/workbook combination entitled “Guide to a Life Management Process” aimed at helping people recognize and manage stress more effectively.

   His Workshops and consultations with sports training facilities, businesses, corporations and schools all stress the importance of the effective use of the mind to achieve success.  As a keynote speaker, he mixes his professional wisdom and sense of humor with stories that demonstrate practical solutions to problems.   He took a leadership role in several professional organizations including his appointment to the New York State Board of Regents in 1979 where he chaired his professional board and remained as a consultant from 1989 to 2003.

   His book “How to Stay Well and Live Life to the Fullest” is filled with over 500 stories and sayings compiled over his years of practice that serve the purpose of providing incentive for people to change patterns in their lives that no longer work for them.  He wrote the book “The Mental Side of Golf” as well as scripting CDs containing training exercises and plans to have a follow-up to that work dealing with all competitive sports.  His book is unique in that the principles cited with respect to the game of golf are applicable to practicing effective life management techniques. He is presently working on a book entitled “How in the Hell Did This Happen to Me?” which deals with patterns that we bring from our childhoods which no longer serve a useful purpose and contains ways of changing them. He uses several actual case studies to illustrate practical changes and solutions.

   His latest book is entitled “The Legend of Little League” and is based on his days of playing sports as well as coaching, managing, refereeing and umpiring several sports. The book has been written as a guide for parents and coaches in their approach to giving children the most rewarding experiences that are possible as well as to avoid the pitfalls of overexposure and the loss of realistic priorities.

   Charles’ methods centers around helping people develop “alternative ways to happiness.”  His problem-solving techniques as a consultant and program deliverer are practical and interactive enabling people to make choices in their own individual style and time-frame. His favorite method of teaching is story telling. His approach clearly embodies the philosophy that “the greatest learning we experience is when we don’t know we’re learning and are having fun” and that learning is both an intellectual and emotional process.
