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

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."

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

“Rote learning of the past” is an “outdated mode of teaching”. Sadly, it is very common in the present, too. In a former life I taught science in SE London, and found practicals (with sound bhvr mgmt) to be engaging for even those harder-to-reach students. More please.
