The edpsy festival covers a range of themes, e.g. reframing attachment as a dynamic process not a fixed trait; making space for everyone in their diverse gender experiences; and adopting a more holistic approach to meeting mental health needs. See you there if you're attending.

Glad to have provided a satisfying #coachingpsychology CPD experience for this team of LA Educational Psychologists, supporting them to practise #coaching skills for helping others to achieve goals, and then how to use CBC & ACT to deal with psychological blocks to goal achievement. 🌱#edpsychs
"That was fantastic. We especially appreciate the way you adapted to the service needs to create this bespoke session, and your kind and inclusive presentation style which has made everyone feel comfortable and able to learn. It will really enhance our practice moving forward. I hope we get the opportunity to work with you again and would wholeheartedly recommend this to any other EPS!"

Some feedback from our recent online training day on 'Coaching Foundations'. Info about other Aspen Psychology CPD opportunities this year can be found at: bit.ly/3HZ7tKS #edpsychs #coaching #coachingpsychology
"I just wanted to add how much I enjoyed the day. My preference is usually for face-to-face CPD events, and I often struggle to focus when things are delivered online, but that wasn't the case. The balance of content with the use of breakout rooms and how relevant the content felt to my work made for a really enjoyable day. I left feeling inspired and better informed than I was at the start of the day. I hope to be able join you for other CPD opportunities in the future and will be recommending the course to other EPs and colleagues." Specialist Senior Educational Psychologist

That quote was taken from the film ‘20,000 Days on Earth’ and was, for me, a timely jolt of inspiration that helped me to get my book over the line. Here is the spine-tingling final scene, with subtitles, also demonstrating Cave’s longevity and transformations over the years. #edpsychs

Continuing a theme… How are you using your own gifted days? What flame are you nurturing? #edpsychs
"All of our days are numbered. We cannot afford to be idle. To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all, because the worth of the idea never becomes apparent until you do it. Sometimes this idea can be the smallest thing in the world; a little flame that you hunch over and cup with your hand and pray will not be extinguished by all the storm that howls about it. If you can hold on to that flame, great things can be constructed around it, that are massive and powerful and world changing... all held up by the tiniest of ideas." Nick Cave, 20000 Days on Earth

Thanks to @maxpurpose.bsky.social for bringing this to my attention.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
The poet Mary Oliver died today. My favorite poem of hers is The Summer Day, so I copied it here. I especially love the last three lines. It’s a great reminder to pay attention to the details…

This was such an interesting and diverse conversation with Ella from The Metro. We talked social norms, bodily autonomy, adults engaging in emotional regulation, and lessons that last a lifetime.
