Lots of people follow me for my work as a clinical psychologist and my work in the field of trauma, organisational culture & direct work tools but my other huge love and passion is art. It’s where I get into my best flow state. You can follow my art on instagram under enrichedtexturebykiki

To my colleagues in education. Here's your annual reminder of how we're all tired at the same time (unlike in most other jobs), which can make everything feel tough. Honest communication, plenty of appreciation in every direction and kindness (to self and others) recommended.

A really helpful thread from @neurofabulous.bsky.social which challenges our thinking about groups. When we don’t embrace differences & preferences, even with good intentions, we risk treating everyone the same & not making crucial accommodations & adjustments for individual needs. #EduSky #EdPsychs

It’s so important to be open minded about how stress manifests. We focus a lot on fight and flight. But it can also present as quiet, withdrawn, rigid, and compulsively compliant. “Good behaviour” doesn’t always mean feeling good on the inside. #EdPsychs

Dr Chris Moore @drchrismooreep.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

I’ve never been comfortable with the term “expert”. It immediately creates a power imbalance, risks a focus on telling instead of listening, and it can be used by others to delay or sidestep their own responsibilities.

Dr Chris Moore @drchrismooreep.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

Helpful reminder that our window of tolerance for stress and our ability to cope with demands fluctuates every day and throughout the day. Something that is easy and straightforward on one day can feel exhausting and overwhelming on another. The same applies to the kids you teach. #EduSky #EdPsychs

Great examples of stories that explain from @lynnmccann.bsky.social. Too many social stories focus on compliance, rather than giving information and validating a range of feelings.

Dr Chris Moore @drchrismooreep.bsky.social · 03/09/2024

There is so much emphasis on assessments & therapies by external agencies. Everyday relationships have the power to create safety and support regulation. It costs nothing to be kind, playful, accepting, curious, empathetic, predictable, flexible & proactive. #FlipTheNarrative #EdPsychs

An image showing a quote by Dr Karen Treisman. The quote reads, “Every moment and interaction can be an intervention”. Examples around the quote include “a sparkle or a lightbulb one, helpful and healing or harmful, expanding or restricting, enriching or constricting, trauma inducing or trauma reducing, a seed planted, a ripple or a tide, a snake or a ladder, an open or closed door”.
