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!
