Welcome to "Time for Teaching Miniseries: Reboot" where insightful conversations unfold. Join hosts Kim Reid and Kelly Fox as they welcome the wonderful Melanie Doyle to explore navigating the challenges of post-pandemic life. Melanie, a proud member of the dental hygiene class of '96 at Georgian College, brings her wealth of experience as a registered psychotherapist and Masters in Counseling psychology. The trio delves into the complexities of psychological safety, reflecting on the trauma of the pandemic and the impact on reentry. They discuss burnout, the importance of recognizing trauma responses, and share practical insights for creating trauma-informed environments, especially in educational settings. The conversation seamlessly transitions to the balance between comfort and challenge, drawing inspiration from the Armchair Expert episode with Dr. Anna Lemke. Melanie guides us through self-awareness, setting boundaries, and reframing our relationship with pain.
