Faculty Spotlight: How Adam Hanley turned pain into purpose
Growing up, Adam Hanley was always interested in the power of the mind. As the grandson of a preacher, he became intrigued by the combination of both spirituality and therapy as a tool for healing.
Hanley, a licensed psychologist and the director of the College of Nursing’s Complementary Health Innovation Lab, embarked on an academic journey that was inspired by the physical pain he felt when an injury ended his basketball career with Helsinki Panterrit.
“That’s when mindfulness practice became more of a central focus for me,” Hanley said about deciding to step away from basketball. “It was a way of dealing with some of the physical discomfort as well as some of the confusion about what comes next.”
