Tell your story, choose your attitude and make your world a better place: Promoting Positive Psychology and systemic resilience in EP practice with Lucy Parr
Episode #12- Sponsored by Bethan Elisa Proofreading
In this episode, I talk to Lucy Parr, a year 2 TEP at Exeter University. Lucy talks about her experiences growing up in and out of care, her vocation to make the world a better place and her experiences of navigating the education and health system with her son, who has a rare chromosome disorder. We chat about how these experiences have informed her journey to become a TEP and the values that underpin her practice.
We discuss the application of Positive Psychology as a way of avoiding learnt helplessness, systemic understandings of resilience and the power of story. We finish by reflecting on what EPs, TEPs and aspiring EPs can do to take positive risks to make the world a better place!
