Teaching through Emotions is a rare form of relief for educators. Rare because it focuses on the bedrock of teaching — relationships — and rare because it turns negative emotions into understanding and compassion and effective plans of action.
It’s not psychotherapy, and it’s not life coaching. It’s more like psycho-coaching: using psychological frames to coach teachers through tough feelings to more attuned and effective teaching.
In a nutshell, Teaching through Emotions is about using your emotions to feel better and teach better.
How does teaching through emotions work?
When you engage with a TTE coach,
you get to speak the truth about your teaching experiences — with no blame, no judgment, and with utter confidentiality
you receive empathy and validation
you figure out what is going on in troubling situations
you come up with a plan of action that will defuse the troubling situation
you enlist a partner who has your back
you turn negative feelings into compassion
you feel seen, heard, and appreciated
