E20: The embarrassing shoe throwing incident
from The Tenacious Mama: Confessions of An Adoptive Mother · host Leslie
Confession: Before I was introduced to TBRI, I once had an epic meltdown, which included throwing all of my shoes on the floor of my bedroom in a rage. I threw every single pair of my shoes as hard as I could onto the hardwood floor while screaming at the top of my lungs. Not my finest moment, but I did apologize to Lane about it afterwards and we had a powerful heart-to-heart.Included in this episode:*why I believe anyone who works with vulnerable youth or in marginalized communities would benefit from TBRI training*what I learned from the very first TBRI podcast about the brain, making a mental model shift from willful disobedience to fear-based behaviors, the biological effects of trauma on a person later in life, and a powerful parent story*the TBRI mantra*the story of my epic meltdown when Lane was in 8th grade*how my current self feels empathy and compassion for my previous self when reflecting on the embarrassing incident*trauma-informed classroom strategies and supports- also good for all kids!SHOWNOTES:A Front Porch Conversation with Daren Jones and Troy McPeak on the TBRI PodcastA Front Porch Conversation with Daren Jones and Troy McPeak Part 2Trauma, The Brain, and TBRI (podcast episode 1)Relationship of Childhood Abuse and Household Dysfunction to Many Of the Leading Causes of Deaths in AdultsAbout the CDC-Kaiser ACES StudyCreating Trauma-Informed Classrooms articleKaryn Purvis Institute of Child Development websiteTalk to me!
