I’ve just started the #NurtureNeuroscience Practitioner Certification training course. One of our first tasks was to reflect on our intentions (/‘north star’) for the journey ahead… A peek at mine:

Enjoying trying out the #qinteractive online iPad assessments. Worked with a student last week who was completing puzzles that made my head/eyes hurt 😵‍💫 Love using #cognitiveassessments to demonstrate a child’s strengths and skills. Anyone else able to balance these weights? 🧐🧠

What a busy academic year 😅 I’ve really enjoyed delivering #traumainformed training across a range of settings this year. Schools have described our training using the following words ⭐️

@Zahira_AP @UniofReading Aw yes I wish we had an applied/ professional module when I was an undergrad! Great opportunity for students to learn about a range of different careers in psychology. Hope all is well your end Zahira!

[Dr Alexandra Gregory | Glimmer Psychology Services @GlimmerEP]

It was a privilege to attend the @UniofReading this week - delivering a session on the #educationalpsychologist role to undergraduate students for their Applied & Professional Psychology module.

Enjoying helping to embed the #nmetraining within a group of specialist #SEMH schools. Always lots of fun experimenting with rhythmic body-based activities to promote #regulation #relationships & #readinessforlearning 🤸‍♀️💃🥁🧘‍♀️🎵🧠💕

[Dr Alexandra Gregory | Glimmer Psychology Services @GlimmerEP]

Enjoyed facilitating a staff workshop yday on 'understanding #behaviour' at a specialist #SEMH school. I always find the #icebergmodel a powerful tool to help think beyond observable behaviours & make sense of what might be going on 'underneath the surface'.

[Dr Alexandra Gregory | Glimmer Psychology Services @GlimmerEP]

I love facilitating 1-1 & group #staffsupervision. Ending supervision with a round of words helps staff reflect on their experience of the session & provides closure from our discussions. These are yday's closing words 🌟

When we have been through difficult times we can be so immersed in survival we forget to look up and see the immense personal growth which has taken place. This week take time to reflect on the progress you have made- use this as fuel to fire belief in yourself! #mentalhealth
