Episode 4: Overcoming Negativity Bias with Positive Experiences, Relationships, Gratitude and Grit
In this episode of the Rise Resilient Podcast, I chat with Psychologist, Instructor, and mom Tammy Schamuhn, one of the cofounders of the Institute of Child Psychology about how our brains encode negative experiences more readily, and also, how we can support our children to see the positive in life through a gratitude practice and positive experiences. Throughout our conversation, Tammy informs us on brain development, trauma, resilience, and her own experience of overcoming childhood adversity.
About Tammy Schamuhn
Tammy is a Registered Psychologist and Registered Play Therapist who has been working in private practice for the past seven years in Alberta, primarily with children and their families. She offers clinical supervision to masters-level counselling students, and provisional psychologists. She includes animals in her therapy and has developed canine assisted and equine assisted therapy programs.
Tammy approaches her clinical and consultative work with parents and professionals with an attachment and neurobiological lens: All of her work is based on the neurology of the brain and how attachment is integral to adaptive functioning of both children and adults.
About The Institute of Child Psychology
The ICP was created by a shared passion to empower parents and caregivers to help children lead emotionally healthy lives and was founded to educate parents and professionals on issues pertaining to children’s mental health, and to promote the psychological and emotional well-being of children and adolescents.
Their mission is to empower caregivers (i.e., parents, teachers, therapists, social workers, psychologists) by giving them pertinent insights, skills, and tools necessary to help children thrive. They utilize an attachment lens; meaning they believe that the source of most children’s difficulties lie with-in the context of their relationships with their attachment figures.
The ICP offers webinars, online courses, and an annual International Children's Mental Health Conferences with these year's keynotes including Dr. Daniel Siegel and Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, and Dr. Kim J. Payne.
