Episode Transcript
Speaker 0 00:00:03 Hello, my trauma informed SLPs. I have an announcement to make, I'll be presenting at ASHA this year in November, 2022 in New Orleans. No way. And you gonna presenting Asha, that's like crazy. No pay yeah. Way. Yeah, she is because I wrote a couple of proposals and they were both accepted. I'm going to be giving two one hour lecture talks at Asha Ha and I will be there in person. But I do believe the in-person presentations are also going to be made available to virtual attendees. And I'm just excited about it. And I, I'm gonna let you guys know for like the two people out there who like listening to be chatter on and on and on. Then that would be two more people than zero, which would be a win. Yay. So both of my talks are gonna be on Friday and November 18th. Uh, the very first one's at 8:00 AM which is not gonna be my brain's 8:00 AM It's going to be really early as far as my brain is concerned.
Speaker 0 00:01:00 So I would like to thank adrenaline in advance for existing and giving me the energy to present at 8:00 AM in the morning. And this one is called the what, why, and how of Trauma informed care for the s L P. This is focusing on how we use trauma informed care in our treatment room. And it'll include talking about techniques we already have on our scope of practice that are trauma informed, and also ways we can improve or expand our toolbox to be even more trauma informed with how we handle certain treatment situations. The next one, the second one is at 1:15 PM and it's also on Friday and November 18th. And this one is called Why Am I Struggling So much? The multifaceted issue of burnout and Strategies for Resilience And My Friends. This is not going to be a candy coated version of resilience and how we just have to keep pushing through because pushing through is not what resilience is, right?
Speaker 0 00:02:03 Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. We know that now <laugh>, I'm actually going to spend a good amount of time talking about systemic things and organizational structures that lend themselves more often to burnout. And then the strategies organizations can use to help reduce burnout. And also talking about things like things that get confounded with burnout when we talk about it or experiencing it. Things like secondary trauma exposure response, and also primary trauma exposure responses. Um, so I hope you join me for that one too. I'm pretty excited about it and I hope I'll be, uh, bringing something to the burnout discussion table that's a little different, um, but hopefully more validating. That's my real goal. I want people to leave that one feeling pretty valid about their experiences, um, with job burnout. My other little side note, personal goal of going to Asha is I just, just wanna meet more of my SLP peeps out there.
Speaker 0 00:03:01 I want to set up some people who might be interested in interviewing or just wanting to give me an email or something or a, a list of questions they have on their mind, things that they wonder about from the trauma informed perspective, little gray areas, the areas that are a little tough to think about or tough to sort through. I really would love that and I would love to interview anybody at any level in their profession. It could be a student, it could be a professor, it could be someone who's been in the profession for 40 years and it could be like a brand new clinical fellow. I don't really care who you are, but I would love to talk to you about what trauma informed means to you and what it would mean to you as a person and or, and or you as a professional.
Speaker 0 00:03:39 I'll go with either one, Whatever folks are willing to do, just to open up that discussion and make it a little broader. So I've slowed down a little bit on my recording for podcast episodes because I'm working on my slides for these talks and trying to make them really good for you guys cuz I wanna pack in lots of information in a short amount of time and I'm gonna try to do it as efficiently and effectively as I can. Cuz that's how I roll y'all. That is how I roll. Um, but I am definitely going to be recording the vid, uh, the video, huh? I'll definitely be recording the podcast on the Ace study, The Adverse Childhood Experience Study, uh, for you guys. I just don't know. My editing might be what really slows down, so I'm not sure exactly when I will be able to publish that episode, but the recording will pick up more once I get a little better grasp on what I'm doing with my slides and getting them all set up nice for everybody.
Speaker 0 00:04:35 So I hope you guys are as excited as I am. I'm pretty stoked. I'm a little nervous. I feel a little like, what, why did I decide to do this? I'm a little bit crazy, but you know what? I'm not affiliated with university, so I didn't have anyone being like, No, don't give a one hour lecture. You can't do that. You're not like a researcher or like really a big name in the field or anything. And because I didn't have anyone saying that, uh, my brain was just like, you should do it. And I was like, Okay, brain. Good idea. Let's do it. So I'm doing it. What, what? That's right. I don't play by rules. Well actually I do play by some rules, but you know, something, something, something rubble I think is what I'm trying to get at. Yeah. Anyway, enough bowel bullying for me. Have a good month and hopefully I'll see some of you guys there and if I don't that's okay too. <laugh>, feel free to email me. My email is in the notes to the podcast. Oh, and as always, thank you for listening and I will see some of you guys soon. Bye.
