This is an important read for people in the trauma field. It asks us to rethink the idea that the memory of trauma lives in the body versus disrupting the metastability of the brain. In other words, the body doesn't keep the score. The brain does. www.frontiersin.org/journals/sys...

Spent my day teaching 5th and 6th graders doing a refresher training on community circles. When we asked them about what was working for them, I was so inspired by their answers. They had amazing ideas how to teach their younger peers. I think a few would make great teachers!

Many kids who struggle with behavior issues are showing us symptoms of suffering from the impacts of trauma/adversity. Punishment tries to teach through suffering. More suffering won't help these students, and it is not easy to identify which are and which are not those kids.

No one is asking teachers to be mental health professionals. One doesn't need to be a therapist to create a therapeutic environment. We need adults in a kid's life to be able to recognize, respond, and refer when the impacts of trauma show up as behavior so it doesn't escalate.

Trump's language is so "us vs them" and in the most divisive ways. I am not thinking this guy can unite us as a country. Watching him divide us up even further than we were is scary.

I'd be interested in seeing a single #actuallyautistic advocate raise their hand at being "outraged" at the elimination of ABA funding. Benji here was in "more than 33 hours a week in the specialized therapy...for 6 years...starting at 3". Holy hell. www.propublica.org/article/unit... 1/15

Our emotional brains and our logical brains are not separate. They are not at war with each other. Our logical brain doesn't need to suppress our emotional brain. That just isn't how it works. Your whole brain works as one big system and is rarely in competition.

Trauma effects the perception of a situation

Humans don't come with flowcharts, protocols, or algorithms. We can't always use one-size-fits-all responses to behavior. We need relationships to help support our responses, or we risk making things worse instead of better. This includes both children and adults.

Twitter lost balance in discussions. Now it odd just one sided personal attacks. Such a bummer.

Joe Brummer @joebrummer.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Adults get life coaches to change their behaviors. Children get behavior management. Adults struggle to change behavior, yet expect kids to do it with just a suspension. Get realistic about behavior change in children.

Sometimes, it just little things. I thought i lost my favorite hoodie which happens to be a @marillionofficial.bsky.social hoodie. Hadn't seen it in weeks and figured I left it someplace which is odd since i love it. Today it showed up in a closet I never go into. Happy it re-appeared, relieved.

Myth about restorative practices is that there are no consequences. Truth is every restorative interaction should result in some action plan to address harm. Those action plans are consequences that address harm, solve problems, and work to heal those harmed. #restorativepractices #traumainformed

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!

We need to give up on FBAs. The Department of Defense did the largest study of Applied Behavioral Analsys only to find it is ineffective and harmful. Psuedo science. Maybe we should check behavior against astrological signs? Tarot readings? sites.ed.gov/idea/idea-fi...

Two days after my best friends & 47 others were murdered at Pulse Nightclub, Pam Bondi tried to paint herself as a friend to the community. She thought we forgot that, just TWO years earlier, she was arguing that allowing us to get married would cause “significant public harm.” She was wrong.
