We kind of SHOULD be overwhelmed right now!
There's a lot of overwhelming stuff going on, so if you're struggling with that, it's not a YOU problem...

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

"All conditioned things are impermanent. When one sees this with wisdom, one grows tired of suffering - this is the way to purity"
The Dhammapada
It takes an estimated 400 repetitions to learn something thru traditional classroom methods but only 10-20 times to learn through βdedicated playβ (Purvis). We desperately need more capacity and space for play, choice and creativity in our classrooms (and wider world)

We must decide, as educational psychologists, not IF, but HOW we will adapt.

Interest-based curiosity is the doorway that leads us out of anxiety and into creativity, which helps us to solve problems in practical ways (Beck, 2024)
28.01.2026 14:37 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0By natures I mean- whatβs true and alive in: our bodies/minds (our internal systems), between ppl in the groups/systems weβre part of and in nature more broadly (the wellbeing of mother earth)
28.01.2026 12:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Culture often pushes us towards deprivation- over interest curiosity, unless our interests conveniently fit the culture. The more we drop our interest curiosity, and pick up deprivation curiosity, the more weβll unquestioningly support the social hierarchy and ignore its impacts to our naturesβ¦
28.01.2026 12:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Litman (2005) identified two types of curiosity; the first, βdeprivation curiosityβ is a worried need to know, stemming from lack of information about how to feel safe (e.g., how to get enough money to survive), and the second βinterest curiosity,β comes from the innate sense of wanting to know.
28.01.2026 12:32 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0We spend so much time and energy on staying regulated, becoming calm, as if that is the goal. To have just enough calm to cope, just enough energy for performing. Who would we be if calm was a stepping stone we jumped from? Calm not as destination but necessary prerequisite for creativity and play.

What we call βnormalβ is a chaotic version of survival mode, and itβs not fun. So taking time to orient ourselves every single day, to retune ourselves to the creative and adventure modes of the game of life. Eurgh, Martha Beck - I love her β€οΈ

We spoke about ways to support EPs who may be feeling disillusioned, disconnected and/or isolated.
Really hoping this sprinkles a little positivity and hope for any EPs feeling glum out there π π β¨

Think βnow I wonβt be criticised, now Iβm safe from violenceβ
But youβll be at the funeral and have nothing to read,
And goodness dies in silence, so I think you should speak. β€οΈ
