6. Helping Teachers Find Balance

I love education and helping children, teachers, and parents work together. I am so grateful for my experience working in public schools. It taught me that nothing is simple. There are no simple solutions, only complex solutions that involve staying curious and cultivating collaboration. Every child's brain is different so how can this be straight-forward? If we try to make things uniform, we fail someone. The complexity is actually the part that I love to help sort out. But working as a therapist with the most complex emotional and behavioral concerns is intense work. As therapists, we are trained to recognize compassion fatigue in ourselves and set boundaries to manage our energy. You know who else needs to know how to do this? Educators.

Teachers, if you’re ready to learn more about managing your energy and beating burnout this school year, I have created a free video series for teachers available the week of October 17th. You can sign up for this free resource here: https://www.learnwithdremily.com/beatburnout

This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit learnwithdremily.substack.com
