Introverts can stay inside for days and weeks. No plans. No people. No drama. No nothing. Just chilling alone. Reading. Meditating. Listening music. Staring at walls. Watching movies. Snacking. Napping. Thinking about life and all. And trust me, they regret nothing.

Here are the methods that led this holocaust survivor to become the most sought after mental health expert ever (and how you can heal yourself):
A common dig at Trauma-informed is that we are asking teachers to be counselors or therapists, and no one is saying that. Nor should they! We need teachers to know about brain development, sensory sensitivities, and common triggers so they can create safe learning spaces.
Being trauma-informed isn't a program or initiative. It is a journey. It means learning about the brain and nervous system, the impacts of trauma on development, and understanding how the brain deals with stress. Then, using that info, we create better environments for humans!
Education needs to be part of the solution re-trauma informed responsive practices if we are to improve the lives of our most troubled young people.
Teacher training modules on brain development
Biological informed.
This would provide healing & help improve life chances.🧠🌱

The unvaccinated are frequently asked, “How did you know the COVID vaccines were dangerous when they first came out?”
The answer is simple: we didn’t.
However, we quickly figured out that the people pushing the shots were LIARS.
Watch Tucker Carlson explain this brilliantly.
“The behavior of the people selling me that [vaccine] was so transparently dishonest. I didn’t know that the vax wouldn’t work, which it didn’t, of course. I didn’t know that it would cause harm, which it did. But I did know that the people selling it were liars. Like, I knew that instantly. And I know some of them, but I could just tell by their behavior [that] they’re lying.
“And I was like, ‘I don’t know what this is. No one in my family is getting this ... period.’ Like I figured that out the first day ... I felt [something was wrong] so strongly, and I just obeyed [my instincts]. And I think that works.”
If we were to start education from scratch, would we have hormonal teenagers doing endless exams at the height of the hay fever season? Would we have teenagers doing exams at all?
Last month I spoke at the National Autistic Society Professionals Conference about working therapeutically with autistic children and young people.
A graphic illustrator, Nina Griffiths, illustrated my talk and we have permission to share them on social media. I think it is amazing, she's fitted so many concepts in there in a way which I would never have imagined.
“Until education is seen as an investment in this country’s future, rather than a drain on Treasury coffers, we stand little chance of shifting the dial far, in improving life chances of young people.” @nick_brook on schools budget in @SchoolsWeek today🔽 https://t.co/DY5Z2ulfva
