Sharing these as promised from yesterday's #IncludED21 @TheDifferenceEd session on psychodynamic thinking in the classroom - so many big discussions, so little time... If we didn't get to talk and you would like to, I'd love to continue the conversation: [email protected]
Excellent talk and discussion on psychodynamic principles and how we can introduce them into practice in the classroom #IncludED21
Staff professional development at IncluDED today - looking forward to amazing insights and knowledge we can take back to most effectively support our pupils @TheKeyTrauma #IncludED21

Intriguing article with corker comments by Van Der Kolk eg "No one should have to keep hurling themselves at the same brick wall of therapy and antidepressants if they are not working" + "The brain buries feelings only if they can’t be spoken about". theguardian.com/society/2021…
