Apparently it's all up to us as to whee we are going to put the "c"! Thanks for your work, Bryce Hey David,

Very practical examples of scripts that apply TED in the real world. For some of us, we need to see how to build/create these kinds of responses and have them available when the need arises as often there isn't time to prepare a thoughtful response on the fly when it is happening to us. Thank you! Peace and Care This is excellent! Very practical examples of scripts that apply TED in the real world.

Sometimes we just have to go back to the basics to get us through some of the most difficult things in life. Breathing is one of the most basic functions there is. As a nurse when i was present with patients who were going through certain tests and procedures I would hold their hand and and tell them to breath nice and slow and concentrate on the rhythm of their breathing breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. By doing this it allowed them to relax more. It reduced their pain and anxiety. When we panic we breath shallow and fast and that is when things become either enhanced or distorted. It might make us more fearful we may feel more pain. By keeping the breath regular it reduces this effect. PS I liked the photograph. Makes me want to send in a TED travels picture.

]]> Comment on Mind the Gap by john http://powerofted.com/mind-the-gap#comment-99 john Mon, 01 Aug 2011 19:11:27 +0000 http://powerofted.com/blog/?p=1024#comment-99 Mind the Gap is a great tool for helping us focus on our choices, both personally and professionally. In my own work with novice teachers we spend considerable time exploring the basic assumptions that novices hold about teaching and learning. I believe that these assumptions are cultivated during the many years teachers spend as students themselves. The many role models we have had in the classroom - good and bad form the foundation of our default instructional behaviors. Rather then spend time untangling these memories, I have found it valuable to focus on awareness; being aware (or metacognitive) when an instructional choice is available and striving for intention rather then reaction. I'm adding "Mind the Gap" as a simple reminder tool for my teachers. Mind the Gap is a great tool for helping us focus on our choices, both personally and professionally.

The DDT is such an uncomfortable place to be once you recognize the drama triangle for what it really is...Destructive instead of Constructive. Thanks for your timely posts! Debbie David,
