Teachers Are Not Classroom Therapists with Elizabeth Peterson

<p class="p1">As teachers, we wear so many hats every single day. We are organizers, facilitators, cheerleaders, coaches, nurses, janitors, and so much more. Often, you may even feel like you’re expected to fit the role of “classroom therapist”. But here’s the thing - you aren’t a therapist, and you shouldn’t be expected to put that hat on.</p> <p class="p1">I know how exhausting it can be to manage some of the personalities that you have in your classroom. When you signed up to be a teacher, you likely didn’t expect to be dealing with some of the behaviors and the challenges that you find inside your classroom.

Our guest, Elizabeth Peterson is here to talk us through this and share some helpful strategies.</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Show Notes: <a href= "https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/teachers-are-not-therapists" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/teachers-are-not-therapists</a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Take my FREE quiz to receive your curated podcast playlist: <a href= "https://www.drlorifriesen.com/playlist" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.drlorifriesen.com/playlist</a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Join our Beginning Teacher Talk Private FB Group now: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/BeginningTeacherTalkGroup/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/BeginningTeacherTalkGroup/</a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Check out Lori's TpT store (Beginning Teacher Talk):<br /> <a href= "https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Beginning-Teacher-Talk">https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Beginning-Teacher-Talk</a> </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Connect with Lori on Pinterest: <a href= "https://www.pinterest.com/drlorifriesen/">https://www.pinterest.com/drlorifriesen/</a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Connect with Lori on Instagram:<br /> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/beginningteachertalk">https://www.instagram.com/beginnin
