2026.51 Name It, Understand It, Choose Your Response
from Four Dimensions for Teachers · host Caroline Blackley
What are you actually feeling, and how is it influencing the way you show up? Teaching is emotional work, but we don’t always have the language to describe what’s happening beneath the surface. Drawing on Brené Brown’s work on emotional vocabulary and research into emotion regulation, this episode explores why the difference between anger, frustration, disappointment, embarrassment, anxiety and overwhelm really matters. We introduce the practical NOTICE framework to help us pause, name what we’re experiencing, add perspective and choose our response. Because when we can name it, we can understand it. And when we understand it, we have more choice about what happens next.To learn more about Caroline and her 4 Dimensions Framework, head to her website:https://carolineblackley.com/Or check her out on social media here:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-mIZhtX4Ewqlsd1ZQXn6dw?view_as=subscriberFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/Caroline-Blackley-Four-Dimensions-1245912172087988/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-blackley-080667108/
