Empathetic Educators: Session 1 on CBT
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
I am stoked to be working closely with a lovely colleague; Naomi who has done loads of research around neuroscience around how the brain affects our emotions and behaviour.
Our first session was about CBT: Fear, Anxiety, trauma, behaviour that challenges us. We came away with a lot of things to think about as well as a bank of helpful resources to support learners who might be struggling with anxiety.
Naomi discussed the idea that often our thoughts and feelings are built up to be a lot greater than they really are and often we need to capture the thought and then break it down with evidence for and against that thought. From that we can hopefully create a change in the way that we are feeling.
Here is a diagram/visual that could be useful to explain this (for ourselves, as well as learners).
Reflection: As teachers, we often find ourselves worrying and over thinking constantly. Could this process help me to make positive changes in the way I am thinking?
Could this process help parents who are worrying about their children?
I think this would also really help some learners who find themselves getting worked up in school. What resources could I use to ensure my junior learners are able to identify their feelings and emotions?
Here are some pictures and visual resources that will help me in the classroom:
It is so important to remind ourselves as teachers that the behaviour we are seeing from our learners could be due to a whole range of unknown reasons.
These resources will be so helpful for getting children to understand their emotions and verbalise their feelings. The ABC chart might also offer them some strategies and attitudes for dealing with difficult emotions.
‘If it happens over all settings it is a part of their functional domain. If it is only happening in one setting then it is contextual or relational’ Skate into skills Nov 2018
This skateboard tool could be useful when discussing behavioural/emotional issues with learners. Could it go alongside our school conflict resolution sheet?
Lots to think about and loads of rescues to read over and try out. Really looking forward to the next session!
