Episode #16: Stress Cycle, Connection and Rest

For today let’s go back to the idea of oscillating between connection and autonomy...in the same pattern we need to oscillate between work and rest. We will dig into the research behind rest and the profoundly unfortunate things that happen we we don’t rest in another podcast, but for now….it is important. It is the first thing many of us forget and it is the most important aspect of preventing burnout and living quite honestly a healthy and fullfilling life. Our bodies are meant to rest…..we NEED to rest. If we don’t rest, our bodies will take it….so let’s be kind to ourselves and rest. The recommended amount is estimated 8 hours/day. Some days it might be closer to 7 where others are closer to 9, but an average of 8 hours/day is ideal!

Episode #12: Music and Trauma-Informed Care

Episode #6: Clinical Strategies Through the Lens of Trauma-Informed Care

I like sets of 3 so the formula we will use for this second half is 1) Awareness 2) Learning and 3) Intention. The first step in implementing effective trauma-informed care is awareness. This part is what we’ve already addressed. Awareness of the prevalence of trauma and awareness of those three main factors of predictability, connection and learning social and emotional skills. Now comes learning! This is where you look at effective strategies that can help in combating the effects of trauma for your clients, students and children.
